Yep - there's no key needed for these - just the fob in proximity to the bike.

Right hand side of the bars, press the outside switch down. Wait for fuel pump to prime, then press the inner switch down to start.

And yes - the battery is a bitch to get to. So it it's dead you will need to jump the bike using a big screwdriver with the positive jump lead attached to it to contact the top of the positive terminal. Ground can go to pretty much anywhere. Make sure it is a big screwdriver as the shaft will get hot. There are some easy bolts to attach the ground to under the seat.

A Softail Fat Bob would make a neat trike!

I do like the statement, "A motorcycle with a keyless ignition does not require a key for operation."

No **** Sherlock!

No it isn't. Just take the boot off the positive wire on the starter and hook your positive lead from your jump starter to it. The negative lead can hook to the frame.

Here’s a starter I have off the bike. That nut is the positive lug. You could also hook up a charger here.

On the bike, under the rubber cap.

You guys are way to patient..... I'm going to assume because the OP is from England that he has no clue about Harley's..... otherwise if he doesn't know how to get it started after it was explained to him that maybe riding a motorcycle shouldn't really be in his future...lol....
