Billybob, If you pop off the the riders left side rear triangle shaped cover, there are two horizontal slots. One large, which is where the factory security module fits, and a small one, where the alarm module goes. At least on mine. 'Your mileage may vary'.
Factory security working?

Nice visual aid Bob, thanks. How do you keep your ride so clean under that cover!?
Bob, I assume the module is on the left above the thick wiring harness? Thanks for the visual!
Cleaning motorcycles is therapeutic!!!!!

Anytime you need some extra Therapy , I have a Tri-Glide that hasn't been cleaned in a year or more...
:laugh:
It's in a plastic pocket, parallel to the ground, on top, right under ( in this photo ) what looks like a strip of velco, just above the large wiring harness that is on the left. The large wiring harness plugs into it.
If you have the owner's manual, there is an entire section devoted to the security system. Pg 101 of the '16 MY owners manual even goes so far as to explain that a dealer can set the system to "service mode". This prevents the security system from activating yet allows the bike to be started and ridden w/o the fob. I am betting that the dealer did that prior to the trike being put into the rental fleet. That way, they simply handed a key to the rentee with the instruction to lock the bike fork lock at all times when off the bike. Just as we had to do before the advent of the security system being shoved down our throats.
Reading the owners manual is what got me started on all this. I remember seeing that in there. And I remember the dealership instructing me to do the fork lock thing....
The Siren plug is in the upper right ..... parked in a blank plug socket. (one pic shows as stock, 2nd with siren module in it's slot above the 50 amp fuse and plugged in)
The Siren module goes into the open slot below it.

Details? Part number? Could you upload a shot of where/how you connected it and tied it/them down? Appreciate it...
Here is pic of siren .will try to find a part # They r side by side. Maybe 2x3 in. Just plug wires into the plug used for HD siren
I have also used this one. http://www.ebay.com/itm/DEI-VIPER-A...aa3411f&pid=100033&rk=1&rkt=2&sd=121237866974
UPDATE:
I was at the dealership today and ran this by the mechanic. The outcome was that yes, they turn off the security system on rentals and they made an error in not catching that and turning it back on before it left the dealership. No charge to reactivate it whenever I am ready to put it back on the road this spring. Good news.
Mikey,
In a conversation today with the mechanics, they said when they program the security, the software asks if the unit they are working on is a trike. Since it doesn't lean on a jiffy stand, the trike has different parameters for security activation. Is it possible yours is incorrect? Just FWIW.
