    Was told the CVO recall covered all the CVO's for 2011 too.


    HD always has recalls. Just like car mfg.
    Its covered free under warranty.

    What !

    Now there is something with a Alarm.

    You git off it and it automatically arms itself. If you set it off the bike will not crank.
    It has a override code and you can disarm it if you loose yer fob.

    When you come back it senses the keyless fob in yer pocket and automatically disarms the bike.

    I had one on my 07 Wide Glide that I had puton and the new bike came with one.

    Ask FLHT if he likes his.........

    YOu didn't watch the Video did you.
    And you hear stuff and yer scared.

    The remote takes a 2032 battery. Don' tell me you never used a 2032 battery.
    If yer near a tower and have problems. lay the remote on yer seat.
    And the dude told you about the over ride system and how to use it.
    Its in a tear out section of the manaul that comes with the bike.

    Things you don't want to learn is hard.
    Things you want to learn git easy.
    Or you can just stay in a hole and let technology take over and leave you behind.

    Why did you ever git a cell phone or compter.
    Its not something you know how to use.......
    It cost more money than a piece of paper and a pencil.:wtf:

    There's a antena on the alarm. if yer distance is pretty short.
    reroute the antena under the seat to make the range a little farther.
    And replace the batter like every 6 months.
    I carry mine in my vest.
    these alarms really rock
    If you ain't got one you hear stuff about it and you don't know what to do.
    Same thing if somebody has been on a fuel injected bike and goes to a carb.
    You got to turn the gas on. What !
    You need to pull the choke out, what It ain't automatic.
    and you might have to twist the throttle just a little when you hit the starter.
    What Its kick start. Oh dear..........
    I got to kick it..........
    What if ita a Panhead and you got to retard the distributor. Man please.

    Saddlebag or tourpac.

    I had mine for a year, used it all the time and the battery lasted a year.
    Never had a problem with the fob or alarm on the 07 WG that I had it on.
    Got a lot of friends with the alarm and the hands free fob.
    The bike I have now come stock with the alarm and fobs.
    Dude down the street has the alarm. His buddy who has a Blue and Black limited has it. And my buddy who has a house down the street in the other direction and lives in Kileen and works at Ft Hood has it on his Road Glide Ultra, and he had it on his last EGC.

    You can git 2 fobs. CArry one in yer pocket and the other in yer vest.

    Now what is the chances of both going bad at the same time.
    And the over ride code is easier than you want to make it.
