Need extra key(s)
I just purchased a used '04 xl1200c. HD dealer sez I have to buy new ignition-that comes with 3 keys. Is there any other way? ie, does Home Depot or Lowes duplicate Harley keys?

Re: Need extra key(s)
I have yet to find someplace other than the stealer to make keys for me however all I had to do was bring my key to the stealer and they made one for me right there.davetremaine wrote:I just purchased a used '04 xl1200c.

I've had dealers make me keys, i also found a napa auto parts store that carried motorcycle blanks. Saying you need an ignition though, that can't be right. I'd ask in the harley user group forum. It's easy to join, go to user groups in teh bar above, join the harley user group and once accepted you have access to the harley forum. Pretty sweet deal to get in touch with harley owners for all your new bike questions
Enjoy the new bike!

No Harley Dealers want you to buy the ignition. Tis true.

As long as it's a normal key that doesn't have any of those whiz-bang security features like embedded chips, any locksmith shop should be able to duplicate a key. Some places like hardware stores may not have the right kind of blanks for motorcycles, but I've never had a problem at an actual locksmith. In my opinion, you're more likely to get a duplicate that works well by going to a pro.

If anyone can cut a key, they can. Excellent people to do business with. Fair prices. Never cut a key for me that didn't work perfectly. I use the Colleyville store. The people working there told me if you send them an original and a SASE they'll be happy to cut keys. Give them a call: 817 498-9797 to make arrangements to suit your needs.
