ODB Reader for 2026 117 FXBB
Can anyone point me to a ODB reader, stand alone, or dongle?
I just acquired a 2026 FXBB 117 Gray on Tuesday.
Ordered a Service Manual with it. I was told about 2 weeks for it.
I have used and own MotoScan Pro on the BMW where it was just a dongle and it allowed a Service reset. And some other functions with a certain brand name dongle that works with BMW OBD port. However I used a GS-911 by HEX and it did a bunch of stuff as far as test and functions.
But I do not rule out a stand alone unit that does not need a phone. I see they are 129 to 899 for a stand alone for Harley. And mixed reviews on which one really works? And did anything change on 2025 and 2026 models with the 117 that would affect any of these ODB's?
Thank you for any info.

What are you needing an OBD reader for on the HD? You can see trouble codes using the hand controls. You can also clear historic codes. Only thing you cannot get is a definition of the code on the display. Just have to write it down and do a quick web search to find it.
Not critcizing, just curious. I have an OBD reader for my cars/truck, just never felt the need for one on my HD. I do have a Powervision which I used for tuning, but I also leave it connected to the bike and use it for additional gauges. I have it set to display ET, TP, Volts and RPM. Very handy.

Also, did they redesignate the Street Bob back to FXBB again? Or is the single seat model FXBB and the 2-up is FXBBS?

Its back to FXBB as of the 25 models. The SBs all come as 2-up from the factory now.
