Yep, I'm a dipstick. Lost the ONLY key. Looked for the key code on the helmet lock. No joy. Anybody know where the key code is stamped on a Uly? Thanks Wild Bill |

There was a plastic card that came with your keys that tells you it. The only other way to get keys now would be to use your VIN and order a new set from the dealer, or find a really good locksmith. |

Thanks Froggy. Bought it used, Got a bunch of paperwork but no key tags. I'll hump down to the local Harley dealer tomorrow and order a new set. Wild Bill |

PM me with VIN. I'm working right now and can give you the key code. If you go to the dealer bring a title or registration, we require proof of ownership to order keys. BTW they will take about 10 days to get in. |

Hey team, interesting update, which is both odd and funny. The manufacturers VIN key code for my 2006 Ulysses ingition/tail/helmet locks is wrong. I had a locksmith disassemble the lock, and sure enough, the keys cut to the VIN code # are dead wrong.....not even close, actually. Is that odd or what? Took me a solid week to sort it out. The smith said that incorrect key codes for motorcycles are commonplace. Go figure. |

The good news . . as least in "the old days" was that there were very few combinations. Much like the 1967 Chevy . . if you had a couple sets of keys . . .you probably had the right one. The reason my "Buell testing kit" has an entire collection of old barrel style keys. |

When you get your new ~$29 key, go to your local locksmith and have a duplicate (or several) made for ~$5. There are at least a couple of threads here that will tell you which key blank he should use, which saves a lot of time. |

I had a lot of fun with a friends Saturn... best of all, my worn key would open his car, but his new key wouldn't work in mine. |

Are you the original owner? It sounds like your locks were changed. |

If you still need a key, I am parting out my 06 Ulysses and have the keyswitch, gas cap, helmet lock, and matching keys available. Make me an offer. |

Arctic, not your fault bro...the local dealer confirmed the same code you gave me. Got a ton of keys now.....and a front fork leak. Dang it's always something. |
