Unhappy Keys - - - Now what?!?

When I bought the '03 Ultra, I didn't get any keys with it. Gave the VIN to my local dealer and had them order a set. Picked them up yezzerday and neither one works. I need to remove the **** to remove the fairing cap, to get to the handlebar clamps so I can straighten and adjust the bars.

Any helpful suggestions? (already tried prayer, profanity, eye of newt, wolfbane, toe of frog)

Go back to the dealership and tell them about it.perhaps you'll end up having to pull off the ignition and sent away or replacing it with a new one.

Maybe the bike doesnt match the vin # thats why the the keys wont work. Why wouldnt the seller have any keys to his bike. Maybe I'm missing something.

That is kind of strange. How did the previous owner lock the saddlebags & tour pack with no keys?

I got the bike from a Portland broker who buys & re-sells salvage bikes from insurance companies. Nothing was locked when I bought the bike. Damage was minimal; I replaced the right saddlebag & guard bar, and just need to straighten the handlebars now.

If anyone needs extra HD keys....the cheapest way to get them is
to order a tourpak lock set from the parts dept., comes with the lock and 2 keys for about $19

Sounds a little strange to me also,especially coming from a dealer.

Yea basically you wanted keys for your bike....they gave you keys not for your bike....go back and drop them in their hand and say "lets start over"....
and BTW you might want to see if a car fax report can be run on their dime.
Dealerships usually all subscribe to that service for a flat month fee and yes it does motorcycles......good luck! Let us know how you make out....
