That was certainly the case up to 2015 when a good mate bought a 2015 Fatbob new. Came with 2 fobs

In the "olden days" ie pre one fob only from new, to get a replacement fob the HD dealer needed your bike, and the current working fob for the bike, and connection to the Deutsch connector port (the "tuning port" if you like) for a period of time to allow comms to establish connectivity new fob/old fob to the ECM. A bit of a process, I have watched it done at the Perth HD dealer for a US import bike I had that only came with one fob (by fuck didn't they all!). The tech connected it all up and ran some programme on the dealer Digitech laptop. I was then of the impression that ONLY an HD dealer could do such a "remarry" process. Also at this point they can delete and change the override pin code to something the rider chooses. Watch yer fungen memory haha..

That may have changed now with Indy shops having Scanalyser type tools available to them.

Stories of losing fobs out on the roads? I have some real LULU's so best avoided like the plague !!

Point of note, hardly any of the used US imports that were flooding into Oz for many years had any fobs as no factory security as stock OEM. Only the CVO models in the US came factory fitted with security. All other models it was optional and paid for.

I'll give them a call and see what's involved in getting a spare one.

I assume they can still do two fobs to a bike and are just too tight to provide the second.

If you are close enough to catch up with him, he can assign the fob, otherwise you wait till the next trip to the Dealer.

The dealers in Perth were loath to work on "imports" at the times so I had to deal with the workshop direct without letting them sight the bike until it went into the workshop. I just phoned the workshop desk and asked for a "new fob for a Softail". I did not mention 2008 CVO Springer!  The techie did not even look at the VIN and whammo straight thru'.
