You can order harley key blanks of the internet and have Lowe's or any local lock smith cut you some keys. You don't have to go through the dealer to have your exact key made back at the MOCO. http://shop.ebay.com/items/_W0QQ_nkw...romZR40QQ_mdoZ

You say that the old ignition wasn't HD original. Do you say that because the ignition key wouldn't fit the fork lock? If they were keyed alike, a locksmith can make a key from scratch, and it will probably still be cheaper than replacing both locks. At least you can hand the locksmith the old ignition so he can work on it while you ride. When asking for quotes, let the locksmith know that you can bring in the ignition switch by itself and it isn't an emergency job. It'll save you some $$.
If the lock is OEM, HD can make you a new key from their records cheaper than any commercial locksmith.

^^ My bike doesnt have the integrated fork lock i use a pad lock . I do plan on taking the old ignition to the stealership to see if it is the original, but i put the new ignition switch on in like 30 minutes rather than waiting two weeks for the key from HD.
I take the bike to work thats why i want to keep honest folks honest.
I now have a barrel key with the new set up and it came with a spare for 30 bucks.
Works well
Thanks all for your input.

On your way home from the dealer, stop by Ace Hardware and have them make you a spare. Only cost's a couple of bucks once you have something they can cut a key from. Then put that spare somewhere so if you loose your HD key again it's a simple matter of running back to Ace and have another cut. I drywall screwed my spare inside the garage so I always know where one is.
I also carry a spare to both of my bikes on my car key ring. That saved me one day at work when I lost the key to my Goldwing but I was able to drive home because I always have my car keys with me. Some nice person turned it into a security guard and I got it the next day. Point is I didn't have to have someone come get me or bring a spare from home. Some guys keep a spare on the bike in various hiding places. You can't have too many spares!
