HD can probably fabricate a key with the VIN number alone - you wouldn't need an original key to make an extra set through the moco. and they aren't going to do it unless you can prove it's your bike. Good for them.

RE: EXTRA KEY
True, true. But Harley is not going to cut him another key, they will make a set according to the VIN#. So no matter what the situation is, we need to prove ownership before getting new keys from Harley.
But you're right about the original question . . . [sm=icon_cheers.gif]

If you were trying to steel the bike, why wouldn't you just steel it when you had the key which you were trying to get copied? Did I miss something here??
As far as recovering bikes 2 - 3 years after the fact.....I guess the insurance companies are happy about that.

HD does that to insure you are the owner and not just wanting a key. It's a hassle but a good thing. Do you have any idea of how many HD's are stolen? Harley has helped in the recover of many bikes. every year at Sturgis, Daytona, etc. bikes are recovered that have been missing for 2 - 3 years and more.

A good locksmith...not Wally World kinda place...can cut a duplicate flat key. I have done it on 2 bikes. They can make it big, small, black, colored, square round or oval etc. The round key from the BTs cannot be made here locally but HD did make dups for me in total of 6 days with little tag that comes with original keys. If you are buying a used BT I would check with owner as it saves hassle, time and $ if you have the little tag. John

A Bic pen works just fine and is only 39 cents....

I tried it on my bike and it worked. There was a little more to it than just removing the plug from the pen. I had to cut it in 4 places. I learned that info from the internet, also.
