No mods, but it called the dealership and they were open to come pick it up and get it squared away. I let the tender work for a few days and replaced both batteries in the fobs... early this afternoon it woke up. We got some miles in!!

Glad to hear it's all better. Being that it's a couple of years old it may well have sat for an extended period. I've read that the batts that HD uses don't do well if not maintained. Probably why they provide the pigtail from the factory! As soon as the smoke clears around here I'm going to get some more miles in myself. Ride Safe!
