There are a pair of removable instruction cards in your service manual, or at least there are for the 2007, that will fit in your wallet. I put one in my wallet and the other in the packet where I keep my registration, etc. They give the procedure for using the PIN to disarm the alarm and entering transport mode. If you find yourself at a great distance from home without your fob, which isn't impossible as I've proven twice in four years, you can disarm the system and allow the bike to start and operate normally until the next time you need to start it.
- Turn the ignition **** to IGNITION and immediately hold both turn switches in until five dashes appear in the odometer window.
- Enter the first digit of the code by pushing the left turn switch x times.
- Press the right turn switch one time, which moves you to the next digit.
- Enter digits 2-5 as per the above two steps.

That's a good idea that I hadn't thought about before. I (generally) keep the fob within 15 feet of the bike on a key holder inside the house, but not close enough for it to be seen by the TSSM, and it isn't more than a few steps away. Even so, using the code might be easier.

The PIN you want to use (five digits, each from 1-9) is initially set when the SSS is installed, but you can re-enter the PIN to be used by following the rather involved procedure outlined in the service manual. I'll post it here if anyone wants this info. OTOH, I assume you want to know how to enter the PIN once it has already been initially set.

The advantage of the Radio Shack item is that it is "Cheap".
Disadvantage is that it can be cut right off and no noise.
If the battery is disconnected, it is too.
It can be silenced by just using a can of foam. (Shaving Cream) Try it. You will see.
I have the Harley Siren II. It has it's own battery. It can be changed if it goes bad).
If it goes off, it will continue even if removed from system.
I can add the Pager without needing to add to the bike.
It comes right down to it. If I had a $6 bike. I would put a $6 siren on it.

It's great until you go on a cross counrty trip and the TSSM fails and the local dealer is too busy to help, and the independant shops don't call back on a aSaturday afternoon..
Then you have to trailer the bike home...
If you want an alarm the best value would be the Xena disc lock.

I have the complete security system with siren and pager. I bought the pager that is battery operated. Once a year I'll throw in new batteries to the pager and fob and I'm good to go. Never had any issues with the HD system and had them on my last 2 bikes. I carry the alarm instructions to manually enter the code I ENTERED if ever the occaision should arise. It never has. It's a little added peace of mind and an insurance discount.
