Default Duplicate Keys

For anyone needing an extra key, there is a fellow on eBay that seems to have access to the correct blanks and numbers.

Having only one key for my 75 FXE I had called all the locksmiths in the area, Harley dealers, scoured the web and eBay for a while with no success.

Putzing around recently on eBay I found a fellow that claimed to be able to reproduce practically any old Harley key. After sending a picture of my key he confirmed that he could make a new set of keys for $29 including shipping, which seemed fair to me as a replacement aftermarket lock and key set of any quality would cost the same.

If you need a key for your shovel, search eBay for Vintage-Harley-Davidson-Ignition-Gas-Cap-Fork-Lock-Keys

Thanks for the info. Have you used him? Does the key work?

He cut and shipped keys the same day. I'll update once keys arrive and I have a chance to try them out.

The new key works like a champ. The original AMF key is going into the safe, now that I have two brand new duplicates.

I took a picture of my original key with my phone so the fellow could see exactly what I had, and eBay's file attachment app either didn't like the pixel density or the file size or both. I had to display the original picture on my PC, then use a screen cut/paste app to take a snapshot of the original picture. Once I saved the smaller and less dense duplicate of the original picture eBay was happy with it as an attachment.

Here's an original "Briggs and Stratton" blank that HD used, it'll be correct (oem) for your pan.
