Hello all, I've been admiring these boards for a while now, reading till my eyes bleed, you know the drill.  A TREMENDOUS amount of insight and ingenuity you cats possess. Looking forward to exchanging wit, banter, and information. Oh, and picking your minds clean of data. Proud owner of 3 different types of scoots, ALL of which need...well, ya know, stuff.

Let's see. A Wildfire WFS-50, An FYM 150cc ( not sure precisely which model yet, it's been lonely in the corner for a bit), and my personal fave, a 2006 Flyscooter Il Bello 150cc. ALL are in mild states of repair/upgrades ATM, ie: fuel lines, vac lines, brakes, electrical mods, dual battery installations (hint hint hint: requires a dual battery isolator switch) , LED light upgrades, rear pinhole camera installs patched through an old GPS screen (a bit more difficult than imagined), LED gauges (tach, temp, etc.). Been tinkering with some solar recharging circuits to be mounted surreptitiously across the frame with a hidden battery tender, hee hee hee. Working out the details of GPS tracking using old cell phone circuits. The things are miniscule and insanely easy to both hide amongst the onboard electronics and super easy to activate remotely (A thief wouldn't stand a chance of noticing one of these BTW, unless they plan to reverse engineer the wiring in under 24 hours) and those scooter alarm systems are WAY to easy to disable to rely on it solely. Think of it like this, a scumbag steals your scooter, it triggers the alarm, which in turn activates the GPS locator system and sends you updates in real time. Said thief cuts alarm wire but fails to cut GPS, because, I mean hey, who the puts cell phone GPS tracking capabilities on a darn scooter, right? ME. |

Stealth locator devices... Me likey. Wished I had the talent for such gizmo wizardry.
Don't remember if it was this site, but I once described an alarm that would be self contained, self powered and hardened so it would not be easy at all to disable short of destroying the bike. And when the alarm went off... VERY LOUDLY, it would have LED lights that would blink and sparkle as if it were an electrical short along with a small smoke generator that it would make it look like it was starting to burn. Who the heck is going to hang around a scene like that? Of course it would stop after about a minute and reset... Hopefully the FD wouldn't show up and hose down ones perfectly OK scooter.
But it might be entertaining to watch the erstwhile thief haul ass out of there.
