Disabling security??

To be more specific, without the fob present I turn the switch to the "ON" position and immediately hold both directional signal button (L&R) down. The display says "PIN" but when I release to press the left directional to commence the PIN sequence - the disco light just go on and the sequence is interrupted. IOW, the function of starting (or interrupting security disco lights) does not seem to work on this bike as it should.
I am open to suggestions about operator error but what works on my other bikes doesn't seem to work on this one. I'd be happy to just INOP/disconnect the security system entirely.

It's a 2018 Low Rider.
It does not even prompt for a PIN.
The previous owner added all sorts or superfluous electrical stuff such as fancy colored lights and what not, voltage meter and what not and I do not know if that's affecting anything but the problem is that most modern Harleys, when you turn the power on will say "no fob" and that is the prompt to start the PIN process. This bike doesn't do that requiring the fob to clear the security activation.

i would start with getting rid of some of the extraneous electrical stuff that you don't want anyway and go from there.

But this isn't a thread about your 2015 or what you changed your PIN to. It's always about Rounders.

So this is just you being one of my groupies.
Would you prefered, "you are wrong, and are you able to remember your own 5 digit zip code"?

He said his 2018 does. I said my 2015 does, which implies most likely his 2018 also does. I then brought up zip codes are 5 digits, same as secruity codes, and we all most have one we can easily remember
So this is just you being one of my groupies.

Secondly, because ZIP codes are 5 digits does not make it good to use. Some ZIP codes have the digit '0' and you cannot use '0' in a PIN. Any other good advice?

Yes I read his post, that his 2018 does not, which is why I said my 2015 does. So if 2015 does, he probably needs to try harder. Am I wrong?
As for the zero, yes my home zip code has a zero, but I know more than one. Was it worth generating all these posts? You are just one of my groupies. Go blow the roadie, and be quite.
Again am I wrong, does his 2018 not have the ability to use a code, and is not 5 digit?

Guys, thank you all for the help.
Disconnecting some aftermarket stuff AND making absolutely sure that the bike was absolutely motionless and still did the trick! Prompt for PIN, entered PIN, good-to-go!
Re-attached everything, followed the above procedure (absolutely motionless) and good-to-go again.
You guys are all wonderful for jumping in with the help.
Much appreciated!
