A fork in the road brought a new episode

Tell a locksmith you need him to make you a spare key, but it's in the trunk.  Evil

I'm sure eventually someone who has dealt with this will come along and give a serious reply  cooldude

Take the bike to a reputable Lock smith and have them cut a spare key from scratch.

Will cost ya a few $$$$, but I bet it will teach you a lesson.

Open trunk and PUT key in pocket.

I always carry a spare key in my billfold.

If it's unlocked and closed just pull the handle under the trunk and it will open. You must turn the key clockwise and pull it out in clockwise position for this to work the key slot will be horizontal in the unlocked position.

You can get the key code (PM me if you want to know where those are...not putting it on the open forum) and have the dealer cut you a new key.

Oh damn...Very true.  Hate to say...but from past stories on the forum...there is very little that can be done except have a new key made from scratch.  Hopefully you can find an old school locksmith in your area that knows how to do that.  Once you do get it open...get the code and write it down somewhere...just not in the trunk.  Smiley

Start a new hobby  cooldude
Lock picking for fun and profit  Wink



The locks on these bike are not "high security" and should be relativity easy to pick.
The keys are double sided but only one side of the key is used to open the locks.

I will dig out my pick set and attempt to open my trunk, and I will let you know the results

Get in touch with my son's girl friend.  She has worked at a locksmith for many years and has the skills and tools to pick locks.  Have her open the trunk, remove the key, and make a duplicate.

We were on a trip once and a friend locked his keys in the trunk. The solution was to stick a screw driver in the slot and twist it open. It will damage the lock mechanism, but a new lock from HDL was a lot cheaper than having a locksmith do the job. You are already accustomed to the two key thing, so a different key won't matter.

If I remember correctly, there is a key code on the back of the helmet locks, you have to remove the lock to see it and that's providing your trunk has the helmet lock bar on it...

I did the same thing in Daytona.  Called a locksmith and he had it opened in two minutes.  I then hid another on the bike and have not had to use it since.  No damage and cheap fix.
