Be careful if buying a used fob (a full size, full function fob with a battery inside it) for a C-14: you will need the code that come on the package it was shipped in or the bike cannot be programmed to recognize it. This is especially true if buying one on Ebay or similar. Most of us who bought C-14's new did NOT get the packaging that came with the original fobs so their resale value is really quite low.
There is another facet to all of this and that is the RFID portion of the fob but I would basically ignore that unless you understand and accept that a full- function fob will not be fully functional without that code number from the packaging.
A new, full- function fob is fairly expensive in the $250 to $300 range and you will need to add programming costs from the dealer to that price- the going price seems to be about 1/2 hour of labor.
A much less expensive alternative is an emergency or credit- card fob which only costs about $35 new. Unfortunately, you have to hold these types of fobs against the ignition switch boss to have them work; they will not work at any distance such as when in your pocket or similar.
