Key fob?
I have an 09 ultra classic that I bought preowned.It didn't come with the key fob and I wanted to know if anyone can tell me how to check if it's equipped for one? I am hoping all I need to do is buy the fob and not the whole system.

If you can start it without one it doesnt have the security system. Where did you buy the bike from, do the blinkers blink when you shut off the ignition?

If you go to the H-D website and the Owners tab you can enter your VIN and get the original details on your bike, which may say if it has the security system. You can also download the owners manual, which will tell you how the security system works, if you do have it!

I had a friend that had a Street Glide that either the dealer never activated the system or some how disabled it. I noticed that it was not acting the same as mine so one day i walked up to it and tried starting it without the fob close. It started!!! I suggested that she take it to the dealer she bought it from to check it out. They wound up programing both fobs and now all is well.

You must be very young! That's the way biking has been for most of my 50 years....

I meant with these touring Harley's anyway. It's not like a normal ignition where the key stays in, ya know. I'd be miffed if I had to get the key out, unlock, put key away then repeat every time I went anywhere. Obviously locking the fork is the most secure way, but I'm not worried about my 900lb bike walking away without me in the places I go.
