     WTF!! My alarm on my 2011 heritage actually went off and scared the fuck out of me when I took the terminal wire off.  1) Where is it getting it's power from. 2) How do I disconnect the battery without the alarm going off??

    Turn the key on first then revove the battery leads.

    Then buy a workshop manual $100

    Thanks for that Stewy. $75 at Harley City and if everyone had a manual we wouldn't have this forum.

    Option 2 which gets no spark:

    1.  Locate main fuse,

    2.  Turn ignition on, and wait for the initialising process to finish.

    3. Turn ignition off.

    4.  BEFORE THE ALARM HAS TIME TO ARM remove the main fuse.

    5.  Remove battery without bursting ear drums.
