Has to be Harley, you will need key #'s. I always buy a spare set when I buy a new bike, they send in the numbers to Harley, then I get the keys.

Go to Harley, they will need your vin #, pay and wait for it to arrive.

Most locksmiths can do it. At least the ones around here can.

Some locksmiths keymakers can do it. The Harley dealer in Kingman AZ will send you up the road to a local keymaker that does theirs. At Laughlin a few years ago someone set up a machine and was doing a lot of business.

What? You have to buy a 2nd set of keys now? Mine came with 2 sets...& 2 fobs. You would think that paying 30+G's gives you 2 sets of keys. Jebeezuz HD is really getting stingy, aren't they? Mind you..I never got a free t-shirt, but I did get a neckerchief & a doo-rag.
