Went to the dealer about a new replacement key. I believe it's called a barrel key, the type they use on the baggers. They come in a set. $11.00 each. I'm going to order them shortly, unless someone has a cheaper solution. I really only need one. Does some place like wal-mart or some other type hareware store make replacements. Thanks in advance.

If it is the "Coke Box" type of key, your best bet is through the dealer

When I ordered keys they were priced separately, but the catch was that you can only order as a set ... so the total was around $24.00.

If you live in a big enough city that it has a 'safe & lock' company they may be able to cut you one. Few hardware stores have the blanks or equipment to handle this type of key.

Don't go to the dealer! I just had a few made at my local lock smith shop for a few bucks each. Why would you pay $11 each for a barrel key.

Go to a locksmith...best have your bike with you so they can try the new key, sometimes the need to be fine tuned to work.

yeah locksmith is the route to go. I got new keys for my bike made a while back for like 2 bucks a piece but that was for normal keys. HD wanted 12 bucks a key and a two month wait to get them. Locksmith took me 5 minutes to have keys in hand.

OK...one more vote for the locksmith. Ace hardware and those places just can't do it. I think my extra key was about $7. Fit perfectly.

You could always do what I did. Bought my '09 Street Glide and it came with two keys. I then ordered a Tour Pak. It also came with two keys, and only for $ 900. That's only $450 a key for the two extras.

I went to my local locksmith and got a couple of copy's for like six bucks a piece. Half price is the way to go. Just ride your bike there so you can try them out before you leave as they do have issues sometimes. They will just cut another if one doesn't work. Theirs no real fine tuning you can do to these keys.
