Clipped on wallet chain as well.Spare fob in saddlebag, but with battery installed upside down(no signal) , just in case. Carry spare batteries as well.
I reckon nobody would think to open the case if the fob didn't work.

Add some Epsom salts to your tool bag, a table spoon in a bottle of water, mix well and drink it all, in about 10 minutes you'll have your fob back...might want to carry some rubber gloves and Clorox wipes as well...

Sometimes we think things to death ... It's a security device, right? On the road with Ol' Gal she's got one and I've got one clipped on the belt ... Out on my own the second one is always on the dresser and the code ( yes there is a code to defeat the system. If you haven't changed the code to your own number you're asking for trouble.) is tattooed inside my left eyelid. What could be simpler?

As foolish as it sounds, I leave it in my saddle bag unless I leave on a road trip out of VT, then it goes in my pocket when I stop out of state. Otherwise I always seem to forget it. The bike will start in the garage because the fob is fairly close by, but then I stop for gas and end up with that "Oh Sh-t moment!" and screwing around for 15 minutes entering my pass code.

How many of you walk by a group of bikes parked outside the Waffle House and think, I can steal one of these bikes. I just happen to have this screw driver with me I can break into some saddle bags.
Maybe I travel to different places than most. Even though in the last 12 years somebody did steal my nasty, smelly, helmet covered with stickers and 12 years of road grime in my home town.
if I had a fob, I would carry it in a custom holster on my belt

Mine is clipped to a belt loop along with the key. The second one stays home unless I'm going more than a tankful of gas from the house. I also have the Vtwin app on my phone so I can remember how to do the security code. I put the gas cap cover on the bike so that I can lock it or not. Usually it's unlocked unless I'm in a motel.
I may try turning the battery over in the second fob.
