Default Security-system code fxdf '08

Hello there, I have a question about the five digit security-system number you can change on the dashpanel. I have an fxdf fatbob 08', but the instructions doesn't work. Is there any other ways to do this? It's not very important to use, cause I always lock the ignition and fork. But it's still strange cause maybe one day I have to use this code.

Welcome to the Forum lots of great info here enjoy and learn from Stuart Fl. Ride a Lot Ride Safe.

Your in the wrong forum i am sure they will move you to right one. You do have the ability to change your code but you must do it exactly to the instructions if you miss a step you have to start over. Plus make sure you have the right code. The code on your instructions sheet are samples mine has numbers I believe there all number

Welcome to the forum. Suggest you stop by a Harley Davidson Dealer and have their Service Department show you how to change the code. Most will do it for free or minimal charge.
