My friend just bought a 2020 ultra and only got one key. Anyone know if this is right? Billy

[Jock]

One key or one key fob?

[rayson56]

Yes, I've heard for 2020 that there is no 2nd key as well as no rear shifter arm/peg unless it's a CVO. Harley going out of their way to show off their penny pinching ways these days.

I know an owner of a 2020 Road Glide.  He got one fob.  That seemed ludicrously cheap on Mother Harley's part.  He did get two keys though.  I know this only because we joked about needing a really really really long retractable key ring to keep the one fob attached to both keys.

Just as easy to piss buyers off in small ways as it is in big ways.  Incredibly cheap way to go.

Keep looking, Harley cheeped out on more than just those two items.  Upper dash is now flat black instead of matched to inner fairing.  Road glide vents no longer close.

Its Harleys business model, raise the price, and remove components to make it cost less to build.

CVO lost XM radio...

Really sucks on their part. I really don't know what they were thinking by leaving the upper inner fairing flat black.  Looks terrible to me.  I do use the fairing vent shutters too at times. They are thinking way too much.   :nervous:Stuart..

The more I read the threads about decontenting while raising prices, and of course the downward spiral in engineering and quality, the happier I am that I swore off new Harley's over ten years ago.  I have a hard time rewarding people or companies that screw people over on a regular basis.  I'm also a believer in the old adage: fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.

Fully agree.

You can shear a sheep a dozen times but only gut it once.

Is one fob common in the motorcycle industry?  Indian only provides one fob, not sure about Honda and BMW.  Realistically, what would you do with the second fob?  The extra fob for my SG hung on a hook in my garage until I traded the bike.

since 2007, i have purchased 7 new bikes between the wife and i.  i have gotten two fobs with each of them.  since that time, i have needed the second fob exactly zero times. 

but, i still would prefer to get the second fob on purchase.

My wife carries the 2nd for when we're together. I carry both fobs when on a trip without her. Peace of  mind.

A friend's fob failed on a trip.  Major PITA until he got it fixed.

[Twolanerider]

I don't mess with it locally.  The second fob  stays on the garage wall.  I always take the spare with me on road trips though.  Have needed it twice since in the 20 years or so since the first bike I installed the alarm system on.  One time when just way the hell out west and battery in fob died. Had no clue what the handlebar code might have been.  One time when I lost a fob and keys in a lake.  Yes, alcohol did, perhaps, have something to do with that latter episode (someone else was very drunk and bumped in to me, of course).  But it was still nice in the morning to have the spare keys and fob together in my travel bag.

i hope that you've figured out your override code since then.
