Gosh. Even I find that comprehensible. And not, as i find the prospect of wiring bikes, reprehensible. Thanks, John.

OK.

Healthy discussion with some disagreement.

I'm going for the bulb between D and coil solution. It's easy, cheap and I don't like flashing warning lights on a Vin. But thanks for all the feedback, I may look at the alternatives later.

It sounds like you have similar thought to me. I put an LED on my Fireblade to look like an alarm. I put a cutout switch in the toolbox that also switched on the LED. Poor man's immobiliser - you see now why I like the cheap option.

Great minds... Thieves today don't understand that a padlock and chain is meant to deter theft, assuming they know what it is. But a red flashing light, any fool knows what that means...

Yep.

Seies D light works.

Tells me when it's switched on goes off when charging, so no annoying light while I'm riding.

Just a pity I can't actually ride it at the moment - see my next thread.
