So, it's been a while since I post anything but considering that I purchased this Honda alarm system, I thought it would be nice to share my experience here.
As mentioned by Volchkoff, all the instructions come in Japanese only.
The alarm installation should be easy by just looking at the pictures (very few connections) but I wanted to have at least the alarm operating instructions translated (arming/disarming/disabling operations). I asked a friend of mine that lives in Brazil to translate only this operating section (Portuguese).
I translated most of it to English but I want to test all the operating steps (after I install the alarm this coming weekend) just to make sure it was translated correctly.
I will take some pictures of the install as well.
Hopefully I will update this post next Sunday.

So it took quite a while for me to get this installed...
I finally installed it last month, together with the heated grips and POSH flasher module (LED lights) because all of these involved removing the tank.
I am not sure how to add a description to each picture, so I will put them in sequence and start with pic1.
1- Extension cable for the alarm module connection to the bike;
2/3/4/5- I found a plug below the fuse box (over the battery) that had a cap and that is where I installed the extension;
6/7- Indication LED for the alarm status;
8- Checked all connections to the main alarm module (black connector -> LED and white connector -> SIREN);
9- Started installing the indication LED on the right side of the bike, running it along with the throttle cables;
10/11- The indication LED has a very long cable (black connector), since this alarm is designed for several HONDA models, so I got the length needed to reach the left side cover of the bike (where all connections are made) and used supplied cable tie for the excess;
12/13- Installed the alarm module (comes with a double side tape) on top of the air box and ran the cable down towards the left side cover area;
14- Connected the extension cable and indication LED cable to the alarm module harness;
15/16- Installed the siren right underneath the tank central area and connected it to the alarm module harness (white connector);
17- Initially installed the LED close to the lower front edge of the tank but couldn't see it while on the bike;
18- Moved it up so I can see when the alarm has been disabled.
The siren is not loud at all (maybe location and/or bad siren) so I ordered another on Amazon that is 125db. Should be here next week.
Operation is very simple:
a. Every time you turn the ignition OFF, the LED stays on for 60 seconds (alarm being armed) and then after the 60s, a short beep indicates that it is armed (LED starts blinking every 2 seconds);
b. If you move/shake the bike, siren comes on for a minute or so and then stops. If you do it again, siren comes on again and stops;
c. At any time if you switch the ignition to ON, the alarm is disarmed;
c. If you want to disarm the alarm while you stop to put gas (or any other situation), turn the ignition OFF, apply the front brake and hold, turn ignition ON, LED blinks twice (you can then let go of the brake) and ignition back to OFF position.
LED will be off indicating the alarm is disarmed.
d. It arms again if ignition goes from ON to OFF.
That's it!

Good work, hdvalente. If I get a moment when I'm near a computer in a couple of days, I might see if I can connect the pictures with the text for you.

Thanks Cormanus. It is not a fancy alarm but just wanted something simple and reliable and I always use a lock on the front wheel as well.

An update on the 125db siren:
It didn't work! I actually tried two different models and both would just try to beep and nothing else.
Next step will be repositioning of the Honda siren to another spot where it will be louder to hear.

Thank you for sharing your experiences, I'm more likely to do it myself now.

You're welcome!
I repositioned the siren closer to the side cover. It is not a very loud siren but it is working better now.

I just ordered the 08E70-HAC-000 alarm module and siren, along with the 08E55-MGC-000 connector cable. Decided that the LED indicator was not really necessary, and more work ( for me anyway ) to route ( remove the tank ) than it was worth. Had the LED indicator been a plug n play addition to the gauges, I would probably have bought it, but located anywhere else on the bike, I questioned how noticeable, and consequently effective it would really be as a visual deterrent.
Webike Japan has the module/siren on sale for $43 U.S., and when creating an account for the first time with Webike, they give you a coupon code for $10 off the order. Total cost with discount and 5 day shipping was $68.
It does appear that Protec may make the parts for Honda. Here is a link to the Protec ( similar ) alarm installation instructions for CB1100. Pictures ( along with excellent pictures provided earlier in this thread ) show the install and location of components:
http://www.protec-products.co.jp/product...manual.pdf I will be mounting my siren under the right side cover, and it appears the entire install ( without LED indicator ) can be done with only the right side cover and seat removed.
I will update and post pictures when I get the parts and install them.

I just realised I'd never done this and looked to make good my omission. Given the way the photos are posted it was not as easy as I thought, but I will do it in a separate post if anyone would like it.
