Hard Saddlebag Keys
Hi All~
I just purchased a set of used Harley hard saddlebags and they didn't have keys. Can I just purchase replacement keys or do I have to get new locks? Thanks for the help.

I think you need the vin # of the bike they came off to get new keys, and then you could start that bike, so there may be an issue there. I would anticipate new locks, plus you can have them match your key.

Any key will open the gas lid, but not the bags, as far as I know.
You will have to order new locks for the bags, because to order keys you have to have the bike VIN or key code, and be the owner.

Went to the dealer with proof of ownership and had a pair of keys made for $22. Takes about 10 business days to get them.
Funny follow-up: on the same day the dealer calls me to tell me my new keys arrived, I also get a call from the seller who found the keys.
At first I was bummed about spending the money, but have since lost the replacements myself, and am glad I have the extra set.'fooz

Re-reading your original post I see that these are not the bags that came with the bike, so you'll probably have to spring for a pair of new locks.
Wondering if you can get the locks set up to match your other locks so you only have to carry the one key? Anybody know if the can be set up to match?

That would seriously be some **** if any barrel key could open the saddle bags... Might as well have leather with the clasps. lol

I guess I was wrong. I have only tired my key on one other bike's bags other than mine. It was a street glide that was one year older than mine and my key fit his bags. Guess it was just a fluke.

You can get new locks (that will come with a set of keys), matched to your bike or you can get keys. If I remember correctly the locks are cheaper than the keys.
