Lock the bike, or make sure the ignition switch is off on a proximity security system bike, and get on with your life.

Checked your VIN against the HD site (https://serviceinfo.harley-davidson....cle/lookupForm), and see if it came with the security BCM/ECM module. If it did, all you would need to do would be to buy the proximity fob, and take it to the dealer to have it programmed to work with your bike. If your bike didn't come with the security BCM/EDM module, you could get that and the fob, and swap them, but you'd still have to have the dealer program the fob. Mine has the security module, but didn't come with the fob, and the dealer said that would cost about $50, maybe a little more, but still WAY better than $200+ for a whole system that you don't really need.

However, I would still prefer to lock mine, fork and switch, just as a deterrent to thieves who want and "easy" pick.
