Default Things I value the MOCO doesn't do anymore.

I bought my first new harley in 2012. It came with a year subscription to H.O.G., a cool little tool kit and a nice framed certificate or origin.
I bought a new bike last year and apparently they no longer do the tool kit or the certificate of origin deal. I did get get a year of H.O.G. though.

Was it a dealer thing? The dealership where I live has changed ownership since my purchase.

Last bike I bought was from a guy who turned out to be really cool. No tool kit or framed certificate, but after the deal was done and the bike was loaded up, he brought out a couple of beers.

toolkit? Are you referring to a multi-tool as a toolkit?

Some of the touring models and trikes came with a toolkit. Around 2010, they stopped providing a toolkit and gave you a multi-tool.

I believe after the 2016 model year, they stopped offering the multi-tool.

Chances are, you can't work on any of that integrated stuff anyway.
Tool kit is your cell phone and credit card. No, they don't give you those either.

The multi tool being supplied was MOCO supplied. The Certificate of Origin being framed was a/your dealer thing.

When I bought my 18' FLRT it didnt come with the multi tool like previous years. I had to queer them into giving me one. A big mouth sometimes helps in this regard.
