take the registration to a dealership as proof of ownership. as long as its the original ignition. harley will be able to cut you a copy of the key by the VIN#. I had it done for my '05. dont know if they keep the records as far back as '01. just give the dealership a call

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!

he just dont know... i got 5 or 6 keys made from the flea market and some from lowes... they aint nothing special...
i think a key is pretty worthless... you could hotwire the bike in 3 mins and you could throw it in the bed of a truck in 30 seconds...
