A local full service locksmith makes duplicates for $4.

Keep the code recorded in a safe place in case you may need it one day (goes without saying).

I actually have had the barrel keys duplicated at a couple of dealers for just a few bucks each and they included the plastic Harley covers. They told me most larger dealers had a key cutter.

take a photo on your phone of the key code if you're traveling.

An extra set of keys and an extra remote fob was the second thing I ordered for my bike. Money well spent in my mind.

Hardware store over by my work cuts barrel keys - $ 4.00 apiece.

Same here... Despite what the parts guy at the dealership might say, it's not uncommon for a locksmith to have the blanks and the machine to cut them.

Take the advice of those who have had a locksmith cut the barrel key...about 4-6 bucks.
