Harley V Rod Muscle 2012 motorcycle.....

The keys were stolen and I have ordered 2 sets from the Harley Davidson Dealership. Both sets didn't work. Got the bike brand new. What can I do?

Welcome to the Forum!

Does the dealer have to program them?

The dealer ordered the new keys based on the VIN number. The keys must have been updated earlier so the only thing you can do is order a new ignition switch and a new fork lock. Keys will come with them. Request the keys be identical so the ignition switch key also fits the fork lock.

Go to a lock smith and have him/she make you make some new keys that fit.

1. Welcome to the forum!
2. I have no idea how two keys get stolen (I keep the one I use in one spot and the spare in another spot)
3. If you bought the bike new and the locks were never changed something is wrong
4. Sounds like you're trying to steal a bike or a troll and may never post again.

1. How do both keys get stolen

if they did

2.How does the Harley dealer get two wrong keys made

if they did

3. why wouldn't you return the keys to the dealer and have them get the correct ones?

IMO, this post is someone trying to figure out how to steal a bike or is just a troll.

oh, I forgot #4.

I'm as big a sucker as the rest of you for bothering to reply

If you bought the bike brand new from the dealer, and you've had both keys stolen, and replacement keys don't work, consider selling the bike.

The dealer needs to reprogram the new keys to the your bike cant believe they didn’t tell you there’s always there alway a dealer charge.
