My 2010 Ultra came with a small tool bag. If yours have one everything you need will be in there.

If no tool bag/kit......... you will need a phillips screwdriver to remove your seat........... lol

Bring you complete unabridged curse word dictionary as the battery cover can be a bitch to remove if you've not done it before.  The 'secret' is to push it forward toward the front of the bike and then lift it from the front edge.  There is a metal tab/hook that holds it down and you have to push it forward enough to clear that tab.  Also, I would bring some zip ties to use to hold the ECM out of the way once you unsnap it from the battery cover.  Very tight quarters - not much room to navigate.

Wow, thank you for that advice!

It's been a loooong day.
She's finally home in the garage.   Managed to jump her off the ignition and ground but it took a bit.
Already have a Deka on the way from battery mart.
Incredible machine.   Much to learn.   Spent 5 hours working on it and adding some of my accessories,  like highway pegs,  LED them signals, etc..
Will post pics after its detailed in the morning.
Thanks to all that helped with solid advice.

I've been thinking the same thing and it's been mentioned a few other times. I'm wondering where the key fob was during transport? If it was with the bike in a saddlebag it shouldn't have mattered.

I thought the exact same thing, especially since the fob was cable tied to the handlebars....
