Not an expert by any means, and the bike I tested was a 2008 ultra. First, make sure the fob is a good distance away from the bike. I had to take my fob clear to the other side of the house to test my alarm. According to the owners manual, when the bike is raised off the jiffy stand the alarm will make one chirp. If the bike is set back down before 5 seconds the alarm will not go off, however if you keep the bike off the jiffy stand for more than 5 seconds the alarm will go off for up to 5 minutes or until the fob is brought back into proximity of the bike. Hope this helps.....
 
Mine is an 06, and the fob is not passive. Push and hold to set alarm, push twice quckly to turn off. I just tried shaking the bike, and turning on and off the ignition switch. It would not start but the siren never went off, only chirp real short , 1/2 second at a time. I did not stand it up, left it on the side stand.
Maybe that is the issue????

Thanks for the help..
 
u can adjust the sensitivity of the alarm. I never have. my owners manual has a long schpeal on it. u adjust it via blinkers and radio readout. I installed the radio shack siren in my 05 glide. when I juggle the bike it warns me. but if u stand the bike up or twist the switch it is going to go off till you hit the fob twice. it will not start while this is going on. $5.76 for the siren. mine looks factory installed. no cutting no soldering drilled one little whole in the stock plug cap. highly recommended mod. I live where flashing lights aren't going to keep anyone from f'n w ur bike. the siren might tho....
 
he used a cheap ass cigarette lighter style compressor. he tore it apart and bolted it to where the sidecar would bolt on on the right side. u would have to be pretty stupid to f ur suspension up w one of these pumps it is slow and gutless. perfect for this job. he even used the pressure readout from the pump so he can always tell what his suspension is set on. he rigged a momentary toggle he can adjust his ride on the freeway I intend to copy him so I will post pics and problems when I do it. he said his next trick was to rig it so he could fill his tires w the same pump... wish i had that kin of time on my hands.
