It is a proprietary key, something about the barrel diameter or something,
maybe it's just 'uncommon'. The number on the key means nothing.
There are no numbers on the bike either that will help.
Your best bet is to find the dealer that originally set up and sold the
bike,
they -may- have the original key tag number on file (I record this for all
the
bikes we sell) That will give HD the number they need to create a new key
for you.
Otherwise, hunt and dig for a locksmith that can do it, or just buy a new
lockset.
(not too bad, really)
