Having fitted many Thatcham approved systems previously, I have purchased via Ebay a Meta M357 TH bike alarm system without any wiring instructions.
Does anyone have access or a copy of the wiring instructions to suit a 1999 R1100S? (or standard wiring instructions would do)
many thanks

found this:
sales literature
However if you can give me a full model ident I might be able to get the full installation instructions sent to me and forward onto you using my unofficial trading name (Vincent Restorations). It's worked already once

Excellent.
The complete model is: (number adjacent bar code in brackets)
M357 TH (P5526F)
Looks like magnetic reed switches c/w two large diodes: B.ACC.M357 THATCH (XG1E75)
Indicator LED: BUSTA ACC MOTO2000 (XG1E33)
and I'm not too fussed about the formal Thatcham approval, I just want a combined alarm imobilser that works!
thanks

oh, an as I don't like their bit about Honda of Salisbury being "Trained engineers" (been there many times, pissing grease monkeys wont touch any of my bikes), I replied as follows:
Cheers for the recommendation, but I'll think I'll use my MoD Apprenticeship in Avionic Electronics and an HNC in Electronic Engineering to determine the wiring then ;o)

I thought about putting the boot in about being three times over qualified but thought twice about it
