Just bought a 42 WLA (with 52 front end) with no ignition key. What's an easy fix for this so I can try to get her running? Friend I bought from says he garaged the bike (running) in Nov 2011. Hoping it will fire right up. Advice please.
So ignition is locked? If so, find a cheapo 5 pole reproduction, install and go for it. In the interim you can pull the original switch (if original) take it apart and replace locking mechanism. Original switch parts are not cheap.

any decent locksmith should be able to make a key, have them make 2. You may need a spare. By the way, that is a nice bike, is it a hunt magneto.
Thanks y'all! I took the ignition off and took it to a local locksmith and he was glad to hand cut keys for her. Cost $30 and she cranked right up. Thanks for the advice.
