Security?
Trying to get opinions on security for my '13 RGC. It didn't come with the factory system, but I know I could add it. Would I just have to buy the module, install it, and have the dealer program the FOBs for it? Anyone know what they'd charge me for that? Or would you rather go with an aftermarket system?

I have the 13 and the only security it has is the flashing lights if moved without the fob present. Prior to that an 09 with the same. Have never had an issue. I have thought about paying extra for an alarm system, but then think of all the car alarms going off in the store parking lots and no one even pays it any attention.
I just make sure to keep my fob on my person...don't leave it on or near the bike and have the override codes changed to something only I know.
As many times as I have moved my bike around in the garage without the fob, I am glad there was no audible in addition to the lights.

My opinion, security is worth it for the simple fact that you don't need to worry about locking the ignition every time you get off the thing.
Yes there are times you will still want to do that anyway, and yes someone could still wheel the bike away but at least they won't be able to start it and ride away.
As for the installation, I've done it a couple of times and it's not too bad. There is a procedure you need to go through to have the bike "Learn" the new security module, it takes half an hour or so then once that is done you will still need to have the dealer program the FOBs to the bike.
That is what I went through anyway.
