I have this Abus, its not too sensitive, I've only had it give a false alarm with really heavy winds whipping at the cover.
I would go to ex500.org and register on the forums first. Anyways here's my top mods:

Your link format was broken, man. Above is the fixed version. :)
Vagabond makes a relocation kit (bracket) that tucks the reservoir up by the motor. I've been thinking about getting it, but I ride in hot weather and my brakes get a little spongy in traffic as it is.
Anyway, here's a link to the bracket on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Vagabond-Motorsports-VM-Y702-Reservoir-Relocation/dp/B00PPQE1OA/
Just for reference changing my brake discs was the first real DIY job I did on my car (after servicing), it's quite straightforward but you need a few tools.
Just in case you're tempted to have a go I've copied and pasted what I used from another post.
Edit: You'll need some brake cleaner to get the packing grease off the disks before installing too.
Not all are essential (e.g. impact screwdriver only if you have brake screws and they're really tight). Some things can be had for cheaper too (I just have a Machine Mart and Halfords close by). You could also borrow a few things.
Still probably cheaper than the Labour costs on one brake job, and super satisfying doing yourself. The advantage of an older car (mines 2004) is that they're generally super easy to work on.
I'm going to get a disc lock alarm and one of these to stick somewhere near the handlebars as a deterrent. No real gps tracker but it might stop some people who are thinking about it.
At home either store it in a garage or buy a cover and park it out of view of the road
Here it is: CNC Aluminum Engine Protective Cover https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LW2P83U/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_EzYvybTZ36BWQ
It's $98

This is the OEM pad they refer to. The line is much more apparent.
Edid: no that is not the OEM pad but the line they refer to is the same. Yours has grinder marks.
On my bike, the reservoir and master cylinder are cast into the same unit. Like so. Seems to be the same on tigerdude's bike.
I don' know, I had these for a while on my 2nd gen and never had a problem with them.

Cost a little more than I remembered it costing. But I think it would be worth it to help protect your bike. But I think they're still working the kinks out of the bleach spraying system lol.
I do agree more is better.
but $55 + $20 to ship is a lil steep compared to $55 all around for a xena alarmed to
:(
Looks like this one
I bought a bike for cheap that I could work on without worrying too much about scrapping. Problem is I cant find parts except for generic stuff on amazon :(

Should I avoid this type? where can I find quality parts for my bike [[CBR125R 2008]]
I lived in a ghetto apartment complex and that is exactly what I did. I ran the chain through the frame and around a big pipe that went through the ceiling and floor. Then I parked my car in front of it so that no one could wheel it out even if they did break the chain and lock. But it was just an old GS500. If I had a late model sportbike I doubt it would have gone a week without getting stolen.

It depends on the weight and package size.
Just using some random ones I found on Amazon for an estimation, selling for $30 will leave you around $22, assuming they sell within 30 days.
If they are slow sellers (>6 months), you will have additional storage fees.
Is this the one I should replace?

Since you said a few things, let me organize my responses.

$206 shipped for the red/black rear i was looking at

i know its not what you asked but.... i just went with the Centric/Stoptech rotors. rears were 37 a piece and fronts are currently $50 a piece (no PP). also for a mk7, not sure what you have. But IMO this was a great deal and they are good rotors. i'd be curious if your finding the Textar rotors for even cheaper.

That was the idea indeed. My S1000RR inherited the disc lock from my Vespa I started with :) Now I'm buying one monster of a disc lock. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Abus-Granit-Detecto-10556753-Alarm/dp/B008PFB8AI/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1407682617&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=abus+granit+detecto

This is the closest thing that I have found that may work but the geometry is off and that worries me a little.
I use a disc brake alarm, they are really loud and you have to get them off super fast if you don't want an earful of bloodcurdling beeping, but much smaller and more effective then a big chain that can just be cut. http://www.amazon.com/XX6-SS-Disc-Lock-Alarm-Motorcycle-Stainless/dp/B002VR5LLI/ref=sr_1_4?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1398705622&sr=1-4&keywords=disc+brake+lock+motorcycle
