Hhm, I do have my two HD FOBs hang next to each other. The bikes are, hopefully, far away enough, especially since there is a big concrete steel wall in between. Anybody have any experience with two FOBs being stored next to each other? Who would keep FOB#1 at the entrance and FOB#2 on the opposite side of the house?! Do I need to now store them in a custom-built aluminum pouch??

I just checked my owners manual, 2014 pg 110 and it says not to ride with the FOB in a metal case or with the FOB closer than 3 inches to a cell phone, PDA, display or other electronic device. The electromagnetic field may prevent the fob from disarming the security system. No mention of wearing the battery down.

This link in HD Forums explains a little about interference but we are getting away from OP's problem, sorry OP Post 14

Never had a problem, usually have cell in one front pocket and FOB in other front pocket. I know for sure that has to be eight inches apart.

I'll have to look again maybe I read it wrong. It was about a year ago when I seen it in the manual.

I just went and had a look at my manual. I see what I had mixed up. A couple pages after the note about interference from cell phones etc. there is another note about not leaving the fob close to a computer monitor or it will drain the battery. Over time my brain must have blurred the two notes into one. (That's my story and I'm sticking to it. )
