Extra Key and Fob Question for Touring
I'm going on a short trip soon so have been reading up on what to take, etc. The 09 Ultra has security so I've got an extra fob and extra key. Of course it would be stupid to store the fob on the bike because that would negate the security. I've got an anti-static bag that keeps my turnpike tag from registering. I wondered if it would "reliably" keep my fob from registering also. I'll be home to test it later, just thought I would ask if anyone else had thought of this or was doing it already?

I never take 2 fobs on my trips.
Just the one.
I do take 2 keys though.
I also take a cheat sheet in my wallet on how to disarm and arm using the turn signals.
One less thing to go "missing".
Just a thought.

I've got the cheat sheet in one of my bikes and the manual in the other. Good thinking about the extra fob, don't know why I didn't think of that. I'll just come up with someplace on the bike to hide the extra key then.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Worth practicing in the "comfort of your own home" it is quite tricky for the first couple of times and you can be rest assured you will end up triggering the alarm in front of loads of people :-)
I did have a thead somewhere about this, but if you do trigger the alarm you must be a bit patient having a second go once the alarm has had it's say. The system must re-initialise itself or it will go off again, or at least that was my experience anyway.
If you note the state of the red LED when you approach the bike - it flashes every couple of seconds. Wait for it to get to that state before trying again

Stash the extra key somewhere hard to find and get to with a zipp-tie. Some tie it into their bottom boot lace.
Leave the extra fob at home.

I have both with me.One on the key ring,the spare's in my vest pocket,sewn to the inside of the pocket I've always got the vest on so it's never left on the bike.The spare key's hidden in a very secret place on the bike.Also know how to disarm the security.Don't know if it's ever happend to anyone else but on 2 different occasions one on my 07 RK and last summer on my 08 EGC.the fob wouldn't work and had to bypass the security.I started and rode both the bikes aways and the key fobs worked.Only simularity I was parked next to airports and was thinking some stray RF was messing up the signals.Never had another problem after the first incident.Both batt. were fresh.
