I am down to 1 key for the bike and none of my local locksmiths are having any luck in trying to make one. Do I have to go back to BDM to get another one? The key has a code on it , I would think they would need that code. Calling BDM about anything is a joke. Its hard to get any info or somebody to answer the phone at a company that is barely still existing!

if you have one key, take the number off of it and contact amylulu at strokers/dallas and she should be able to get you as many as you want. if not, there is a thread on here about swapping out the switch with one from of all places, tractor supply.
Call Bigdogpartsking or Shovelheadkicker same Guy. He is a member on here and get you a new switch with two keys (plug and Play) NEW BIG DOG IGNITION SWITCH W/ 2 KEYS ALL MODELS K-9 CHOPPER MASTIFF PITBULL | eBay

A good locksmith/key shop should be able to cut a key. When I carried my one key into Bill’s Lock & Key in Albuquerque NM the female that waited on me ask what the hell was the key for. I told her a Big Dog Motorcycle. She went right over to the peg board that had at least a hundred ++ different blanks hanging on it. She pick one out and cut it. She told me if it didn't work to bring the bike to the store and she said she guaranteed she could cut a key that would. When i got home put the key in and it worked without any issues. Went back a few weeks later and had 4 more cut just to have them.

I don't know about the newer models , mine is a 2004. The switch that was in mine could be started with an Exmark lawn mower key. You could pull it out, leave it running, and cut the yard at the same time. The only good thing when I replaced to Wire plus , I also replaced that switch. I replaced the switch earlier with one just like it thinking it was wore out but the new switch could be worked with the lawn mower key as well. I think I gave that switch to someone in here keys and all.

I ordered 2 keys off of bdmperformanceproducts.com site. Go into the exploded view by bike and for a 2006 Pittbull it looks like it is either
•Key – 4 Tumbler Ignition – 171-000006-00 – (Fits Key Code VD-01 – VD99) or
•Key – 5 Tumbler ignition – 170-000029-00 - (Fits Key Code VD100 & Up) They are $10.93 each
Depending on your key # 1-99 or 100 & up will tell you which to order. In the comment or instruction field when ordeering just list your key # which will probably actually start with BD. I received mine pretty quickly and both work perfectly. Only thing is the new keys you receive will not have the number on them so you may want to write it down for future reference... Just in case.
