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....

If you got to crashtoys.com you will see a lot of Harley's being sold without keys. I totally agree, some on here need to completely read all the posts before they open their yaps. Makes you wonder how many get discouraged and never come around. Insurance companies don't always get the keys, cause the owner can't find them or any of a million reasons. I bet there aren't very many different keys, hell on the Honda Sabre I owned before I bought the Ultra, there was only like 6 keys, and the dealer had them all in stock.

Default Mystery solved!

Went back to the dealer this afternoon to get a new fob programmed for the RKC. While there, the Service Writer double checked the key code assigned to my UC's VIN. Sure enough, the parts guy had muffed it two weeks ago, and had ordered the wrong keys...off by one digit. Won't know for sure 'til two weeks when the "correct" keys arrive.

Thanks go out to Dawg who also confirmed the correct key code for my VIN. I'm confident I'll get the right keys this time. Thanks to all who offered their suggestions & ideas.
