DEI used to make one but I'm pretty sure it was made in Europe and never sold in the US, XL 100?
Try Googling, you'll probably find most of the manufacturers are Italian, so the electrics won't work too well.

Read the installation manual, do a search here or online for your vehicle wiring before posting.

Google Meta Italian unfortunately and in my experience garbage! Or Datatools, UK but probably made in the same factory as DEI (Liteon in Taiwan), UK Thatcham approved which means top quality and rigorous testing.

I installed a DEI avital (can't remember the model #) on a '03 yamaha R6 years back. Was actually a car alarm. Built in impact sensor worked great, and used a hood mercury switch mounted that would trigger the alarm if the bike was tilted off the stand. I used a small piezo (sp?) for a siren and it was actually pretty dang loud.

I had the alarm components sealed up well in several ziplock bags and taped..never had leaking. And I wired in a garage door opener to the trunk output (probably my favorite part)!

Sold the bike in '07 and never had a problem with it!
