Default Detachable backrest key

Does anyone know how I can my hands on a new key for the locks holding a detachable backrest on a Road King? I bought the bike used and the previous owner did not have the key for removal. I went to the dealer and they said "yeah we have 'em, they come with a new set of locks...$46". They tell me all the keys are the same, but I can't buy one new. Some how I wasn't surprised. I thought I'd ask around before a bought a set of locks I don't need.

I understood that there were like 20 different keys. Not sure about that one. Ask them to unlock it for you and replace it with the regular latch.
