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

At that time it was all new.  That was a 1998 95th anniversary Road King that I'd installed the alarm system on.  After installing the alarm it never occurred to me (nor did I read the instructions well enough to know) that there even was a handlebar code. 


Some things we have to learn the hard way.......

The sales man told me they cut back on a majority of the things because most people don't use them or don't turn them in when they trade them in. Vents that open and close are nice if you live in colder climates. In Florida, mine never get closed. Still would like the option to close them though. Keys / fobs he said most people only turn one in on trade in. Rear shifter lever, I think looks nice but have never used it. All my luggage and bike cover are still sealed in the plastic in the closet along with the head set as I don't wear a helmet in Florida. I'm not agreeing with taking things away but I kind of understand. I almost bought a 2019 because they still have fender tips.

As far as the pass code, as long as you have the key fab you can reset it. It's one of the first things I do when I get the bike home. Makes it harder for the dealer to repo it. Not that it has ever happened but it just might now with this Coronavirus crap.

That sales guys can can cite all kinds of reasons the heel shifter, extra fob, etc., was removed from new bikes, but that’s all BS...we know this was a cost cutting move.

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.

Since 20017 we have bough 7 CVO and 7 touring bikes for my wife.  The spare keys are always in my tool box. May garage is in the basement, our bed room on the 3rd floor.  The spare keys are used often to move one of the 6 bikes around in the garage, or to get my car out of the garage as a bike has to be moved to move the car.  Also on our two or three trips a year we each carry a spare for the other persons bike.

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...

2020 CVO's also lost the custom aluminum rider footboard mounts. They now have the standard black mounts that the regular touring line uses. I wish they would have given the garage door opener to the Smithsonian museum. That piece of junk is right out of the 70's. I'd sooner see the money from that thing put towards the XM radio.

Indian only provides one fob, not sure about Honda and BMW. 

My 2016 BMW GS is keyless and only came with one fob. You do also get a flimsy plastic emergency key that you have to hold up under the rear fender to start it.

Manufacturers must be thinking that we will prefer to use phone apps to start our vehicles.
