Can a key code be looked up by me or a dealer using the vin. number? I have a Evo Dyna with barrel keys that work in the inition but not the fork lock. I think maybe the ignition was changed with new keys. I know I could remove the fork lock , but I'm not into removeing the front end at this time to get the lock out to check. I also can just suck it up and order keys from a dealer, that might end up being the same as the ignition and the fork lock is just jammed or broken. See a lot of keys for sale but I need the key code. any imput out tere?

 

I can look at my barrel keys and see they are the same? Can you?

A little bit of filing can make a lock fit your barrel. May loose a pin or so but as long as you have an alarm, no biggie. There 6. A locksmith probably has some. I think they are the same size as most common passage poor lock. Just vertical rather then perpendicular .

My tank switch is so worn, know two pins got out and were sitting on top. I saved thim in my lock pin drawer. I have matched many door locks in all the homes we have lived in over the last 50 years. Never know what one might need.

 

No, the Dealer can't get a Key Code from the VIN. Best bet for the Fork Lock would be a Locksmith.

 

^^^For personal satisfaction and "closure" I would agree. And if you would ever sell the bike, it is absolutely essential to know.

 

It reads like it would be easier to have a locksmith code the fork lock..that should be rather quick (under 2 minutes) if he/she has the simple tool.
Then the locksmith makes the key from code tool. NOTE: Not every locksmith makes barrel keys... Cheap but you end-up with one key for fork lock and another for ignition.
This assumes that fork lock pin was not destroyed during a theft attempt.
The code tool will work to unlock and lock fork lock if it is functional so you will know not to make key if lock does not work.
Alternatively...and more expensive, Can be done as a second visit or same visit but you have to be ready....
Once the locksmith has the key code, function of fork lock was confirmed with key code tool, remove your ignition lock yourself while they grind new keys and have them rekey the ignition lock to match the fork lock.
A few phone calls should isolate who decodes & re-pins barrel keys in your area.
If you make an appointment and take the bike to them and remove the ignition lock yourself it is likely to save the off site visit charge and extra labor fee's.
Again, this assumes that fork lock pin (part that locks fork to frame) was not destroyed during a theft attempt.
A time saving step would be confirming that no visible damage appears at fork lock area...like happens with a theft.

 

that's not true. the company registers the key code with the vin in their system.

 

thats not true, the company registers the key code with with the vin in their system

 

I just ordered replacement keys using my registration and VIN through my local dealer.
Don't bother trying to get replacements without having your registration in-hand.

Cost for (2) factory keys for my 2007 Ultra Classic was about $40.

They won't be able to help you if the ignition, fork lock, or bag locks have been changed.

 

You could purchase a tubular key pick and have a key made. The pick determines the key configuration and then the locksmith can grind a duplicate.
