The security module is under either the right or left side cover. Sorry have been away from the HD world for a little while. Can't remember which side it is. Yes you can use a non-security module for the bike. It will need to be pass word learned from the DT2 computer at a local dealer.

briefly and then turn off Security lamp will not illuminate on non-security
(TSM) Twin Cam models.
4 Attempt normal start one time. Engine starts and stalls immediately. check engine
lamp stays on. Password has not been learned and sets trouble code P1009, thus stopping fuel

The siren is under the left side cover, if you have one. The security module (TSSM) is under the seat on '08s anyway.
