Hey I lost my key this weekend at the races!!!! CRAP! Can I get one though a HD dealer? | ||
| Hellraged |
did you write the number down that was on your key? if not you will have to buy a whole new ignition (what i was told by another harley rider) | ||

Shouldn't they be able to look up the key number from the VIN? | ||

Shouldn't they be able to look up the key number from the VIN? Yes. Unless the lock has been previously changed. | ||

No no key number! Well I will see what I can do. How much is an ignition? Seat lock too. | ||

You don't need the key number. Write down the vin and give it to the parts guy. Tim (No_Rice) has gotten me new keys using the vin for 3 or 4 Buells now with no problems. | ||

Yes, the VIN will get you a set of shiny new keys. It worked for me. Then I found my original keys. Then my shiny new keys came in from H-D  Spare keys that say Harley-Davidson on them. | ||

You can get a spare key at any good key shop with the key number ... | ||

I would buy a spare ignition and have the old one re-keyed also. I think Al at American Sport Bike has them for $25. But His web site is down for maintenance right now or i would link for you. | ||

Ah! Good idea. Get the key number from the dealer and have a locksmith crank one out for you. Or did I misunderstand that? | ||

Went to Harley Dealer bought a new set of keys for $25.00 but it takes 10 BUSSINESS days to get the key from Harley! Oh well.......+ | ||

well glad that you will have keys again.. | ||

That's strange...I had given my vin to the Harley dealer that I brought my ignition switch from and got a whole new set that don't match my old one...story short, I have two different keys now.  | ||
| Ratbuell |
Like I said...if the ignition has been replaced in the past, the VIN lookup will get you the wrong key. | ||
| Gmaan03 |
I do not know if the ignition was ever changed. The key matches the seat lock, so I have to assume it was not changed. I guess I will hope for the best! | ||

If it was a warranty repair (like my S2 had before I bought it), they would have replaced the ENTIRE lock set so they all matched. My bike didn't match the VIN-assigned number, but both the cylinders matched each other. I found this when I decided I was tired of having THREE keys for the bike (ignition/seat, left bag, right bag) and went to order locks/keys for the saddlebags to match the VIN assigned key code. They didn't match. So I pulled the cover off one of my keys and presto - it, and my ignition and seat locks, were a different key code. I was lucky in that I worked for the original selling/servicing dealership for the bike, and I was able to pull a service history on it. Sure enough...locks were changed at some point way back. As a set. Before the bags were added. | ||

I snatched up a used limited edition gas cap and seat lock latch assembly and ignition switch with the original key off ebay for $35.00 | ||

If you replace any of the locks, you should be able to take the locks to a locksmith and have the new lock rekeyed to match the original locks. |
