Default didn't get the FOB

I didn't get the FOB when I purchased the bike, I'm not having any issues so the security system must be disarmed... I guess?
do I need to get another FOB and mate it to the bike or is there more involved than just that?

I bought it from a Honda dealer and was told it didn't have the security but the red key on the dash lights up when I start it

What year is the bike? At some point HD went to a button-less fob and automatic arming on the security system. My '04 has a button you need to push to turn on the security system; the '11 is just a buttonless fob so you need to have it close to the bike to start it or enter the 5 digit pin using the turn signals.

I'm curious about this also.
I bought a 06 heritage without the fob.

I have an 08 with buttonless. The fob runs around $1500 and another $300 for the dealer to sync it.

My 07 has a button less sensor FOB and I can't imagine it being expensive for just the keychain piece. Maybe $100 at Stealer prices.
