Had someone damage my key ignition with a screwdriver. (on Valk Interstate).
Question is if I purchase a new switch, -  is it possible for a locksmith to match up the tumblers on the new switch to match my existing key so all the locks on trunk , hard bags etc. use the same key?

I'm not sure about this, but if you give Honda the key code from the key, they may be nice enough to set the lock for you upon purchase. You could at least ask, right?

At first I thought someone had stuck a screwdriver or something into my ignition,
but it fubarred up all on its own... I'm sorry if some SOS vandalized  your bike...

Like Mike just mentioned, are you sure it's screwed and not just the door that has fallen loose? Use a bright light and a dental type pick, and see if you can get it out and save your self some trouble and $.

I already had 3 locks do this on my different bikes.

No replacement for the doors, except to buy new.

From the picture. it looks like the door came loose and needs to be removed as suggested above, dental pick and a good light.
