I'm still waiting for my upper exhaust tip to get back from the powdercoater. It got messed up the first time. I'm getting some thread and vinyl samples next week from Mustang for my Custom seat im having made. I'm going to put about 1k miles on it when the weather gets better before doing a cam and voiding the warranty. Then I can get the chrome off of the pushrod tubes and lifter blocks at the same time. I'm trying to find Baja Orange powder to do the lower rocker boxes then as well. I've been researching saddlebags or a swingarm bag or something to carry the essentials but not sure what I am going to do yet. This bike is brand new with 1 mile on the odometer. It was delivered on I think January 6th or 7th. I did all this work to it and as crazy as it seems, I have never even heard this bike run!

I wonder if anyone has come across this (2021 FXBBS Street Bob 114). The Security system light (reference page 94, fig 35, number 6 of the owner's manual) stays permanently on while riding.
Bike starts and rides fine.
I've done the obvious which is change the battery in the fob.
Tested that this is working by moving the bike without the fob, setting the alarm off and then returning with the fob which disarms it.
I've even tried changing the PIN albeit I'm not sure if I did that properly so will try again (referencing pages 61-63 in my owner's manual).
Any ideas welcome.

Did this just start out of the blue, or did you do any work recently? That seems pretty strange considering the FOB is working normally. Honestly, I hate HD security systems. I replaced the TSSM with a TSM on my 07 Road Glide. I haven't looked into it on the 21 Street Bob. I doubt it is that simple considering this bike is Can-Bus. I'm assuming it is all stored in the ECM. Maybe Digital Tech can turn it off.

Yeah, it's a recent thing.
Only done cosmetic changes (backrest, seat, tool roll, etc.)
I am wondering (clutching at straws) whether or not my Battery is on its way out albeit I keep it on a Battery conditioner all the time and it's fully charged and never have any issues starting it up - starts first time on the button and runs/rides great.

I "thiink" I might have got to the bottom of this....
This morning I changed the PIN code and verified that was working properly but still had the issue.
I then came in and did some web searching and found that a "possible" cause is a blown bulb.
Went back out to the garage, checked the bike over and found that one of the number plate lights wasn't working.
Going to order a new bulb (Harley Davidson 52441-95 BULB,BACKLITE) which "I hope" will fix the issue.
I'll keep you posted.

I hope you found it. That actually makes some sense. I vaguely remember reading something along those lines a few years ago. Good luck.
Follow up on the above....
I now know what the problem is.
I replaced the number late light and still had the Security system light on.
Went back through checking everything and noticed that the brake lights were permanently on.
Ran a diagnostic check and got:
B2161h - brake lamp open
B2262c - Front switch brake stuck
So, there's my problem. Now need to order the Harley-Davidson Hand Control Brake Switch 71500118
...albeit I'll most likely get the H-D AD to replace it for me as it looks like a right PITA job to do.
