Lost my keys in Ohio somewhere. I need help with a new key for my Journey cases. HELP! I'm in Wheeling, WV, now.

If you happen to know the key number, a dealer can order you more keys, but that takes a little while, and assumes you know your code. I don't know if its stored with the VIN like the ignition key is.

Seems like any decent locksmith ought to be able to cut you a key, but it might be pricey.

Or, with all the latch failures, well... Then again, that ends up pricey too.

Don't have any in front of me to look at, but isn't there a hinge pin that holds those cases together at the bottom? Maybe you could remove them to at least get into the cases until you get keys?

Maybe just a silly thought.

We got him square.

It took disassembling a set of our bags, cutting his latches off his bags, installing our latches on his bags...a couple fought back, he had to drop the bag bracketry from the tail section because the closing-latches wouldn't come off unless the bags were clear of the tail section and at that time we weren't going to replace the bike-to-bag latches (but that changed when one brok...er, fought back). So...Mike is back on the road with six new latches and TWO new keys. And they all match each other.

His spare key is under the seat this time, instead of in a dresser drawer at home : )
