Default What should come with new purchase

When I bought my 22 fxlrs I got the bike, one key, one key fob and that is it. What all am I missing? I saw some posts on Facebook about hard copy of manual, a rain sock for air cleaner and wrench for rear shock. Anything else? Going to have to make trip back to dealer and get whatever they neglected to give me

I got one key fob, TWO keys, and not only the manual, but a plastic bag with the manual in it and a bunch of other ad stuff in it, including the wrench. The rain sock was already on it at delivery.

Changed in 2020.

Not 100% sure about the 2022 models but if 2021 models are the same then
You should have got:

- One FOB.
- Two barrel keys.
- One quick set up guide for the boom-box. (If applicable).
- Rain sock, as this item is required to be used during certain situations by Harley.

Check your luggage bags if the missing barrel key have been thrown in there by the shop.
If not present you're missing one as suposed to be delivered with 2021 (and possibly the same for 2022) models.

And while you're at it, write down the numbers on the tag attached to FOB/keys.

My Heritage came with no “barrel keys” as there’s no ignition switch anymore (keyless ignition on the new Softails).

I did get 2 fobs with conventional keys for fork lock (this was 2019-1now), the owner’s manual and a shock adjusting tool.

Dealers should use their post-sale checklist...both of my last bikes (2017 Lowrider-S & 2020 Heritage 114) I had to ask for the "extras." Maybe OP got the NKOTB who doesn't have all the steps engrained in brain. You should get, at a minimum, 1-FOB, 2-barrel keys (depending on bike), Owner's manual, shock wrench & wad of paperwork. Also, dealer should go over bike w/ you before departure. Guessing neither of these occurred...??

BOught it on a Saturday and since they had to do state inspection before delivery did not go over anything. The dealer was supposed to deliver to my home, but after waiting two weeks went back to dealer and picked up. Had to get them to adjust shifter as I had to lift my foot off the peg to shift. Was not impressed by the whole process. Presale the salesman was great answering questions, but took almost an hour to do the paperwork. After paperwork done seemed like they were done, nothing done to setup bike to fit me better. I ordered 1k of parts but they wanted over 400 to install seat, mirrors, passenger pegs and sissy bar so I told them I would install myself.

My wife's '22 FXBBS came with 2 aluminum keys, 1 fob, 1 rain sock, 1 spanner wrench, and the owner's manual. I believe that is the standard loadout for a '22.

Her shifter was also about 3+ inches higher than it should have been and the headlight was misaligned to the left. Now that I have a fairing on her bike it also appears to be misaligned up and down as well.

My mistake, I thought the fork lock used barrel keys as in the old days.

But it is natural they would use normal keys nowadays.

I have to look closer on the keys of my buddys bike next time we ride together.
