Now, however (always a caveat.....hehe) here is the problem. I have only had the bike going on 3 weeks and only put 70 miles on it. It is now cold in the NW and I just want to look at it and dream of warmer days to come. I decided I wanted to install the super loud airhorn that Harley offers. So, during that 'senior' moment, I did not have the FOB with me and decided I wanted disconnect the battery to install the horn. About the time I started fiddlin' with the battery bolt, I could see the gears turning, so to speak, as I was lifting the bolt and the cable away (actually I never even got that far before the alarm started going off and I began scrambling to get the fob close and even then it had already taken off for the moon!) Not sure how I really got it to finally stop screaming at me. Screamin' eagle, no wonder!! Guess it's really a description of the alarm, isn't it?? Anyway, I got it calmed down but then the little lighted key on the speedometer did not flash any more that I could tell. So, later I looked in the owner's manual and it talked about turning the ignition on and then disconnecting the battery lead (with the fob close, of course!). Well, now the headlight is "on" while you are disconnecting the battery. Doesn't make good sense to me why you would be directed to do that but it works. The alarm never went off and I had disconnected the battery for the job at hand. After the horn was installed, I was nervous to say the least as I began going thru the process of getting the battery reconnected without screamin' meemee going nuts! I turned on the ignition (FOB close, of course) and connected the battery cable and wal-la! The alarm system became functional again and the horn blew (had to try it once at 9:45 at night) Now, however, I have not messed with the PIN number to customize it to me but have decided to do that.....later. Ok, ........I have to go to work now so will get back to this in the next couple hours. (looks like a cliffhanger, doesn't it???) ha!
