Long story short, I was hit by an expedition two years ago. The people that worked on my bike had to replace the ignition, but did not match it to the VIN.

I just went to Chandler HD (finally, I know :P) and ordered a new ignition. Apparently they DO NOT ship you the correct key number, just a random one of whatever they have on hand.

Then I asked if I could buy an entire set, they said no-go on that too.

I have the money to fix it properly now, but am I going to be stuck carrying two different keys for the rest of my life? (Considering that is how long I will be riding this Uly )

Any ideas?

Phil

Locksmiths can do all sorts of magic.

I suggest you talk with a locksmith.
They can swap tumblers around in one of the locks and bring you back to one key.

Thanks for the advice,
I will look into it.
