Default Factory alarm system...

Should my 08' Night Train have a factory alarm system? Seems that I don't have one...

No... I was just asking because I've been told that this was supposed to be standard equipment on HD's after a certain year...not sure which year though.

The secutiy package is an option and isn't standard. I just got a super glide with the ABS/Security package. I guess you can buy the security system and get it installed as a seperate item but it is usually packaged with other things like ABS for the stock showroom bikes.

If you do have one, the Radio Shack audible alarm was the best $6 I've spent. Here's a thread on it.

Unless somebody has a better answer, you might look at the pics. Remove the two bolts in front of the rear tire & look for the wires pictured. If they're there you have it wired for an alarm, if not then I'm guessing not.

Or you could go to the dealer & ask them. I'm sure they'd love to sell you a key fob if you do have one.
