Other Lost key made from code?

Has anyone had any luck with a dealer being able to make you a key from your VIN?

I lost my only key to my ‘22 Speed Twin and saw online that dealers should be able to look it up and make you a new one, but the ones I called said they can’t do that.

Trying to avoid having to get a entire new locks 😵‍💫

I just almost went through this. I was told (by a former Triumph dealer) that a dealer could get the key code for a VIN from Triumph, but they were no longer a dealer. I called the nearest current dealer, and they said that they'd give it a try, and that required documentation varies by state (I'm in the US). They did not expect the process to be quick.

After a week, well, I found my key, so I told them that I didn't need a physical key, but would like the key code. Still waiting.

To sum, dealers have said it's possible.

By the way, I had a locksmith try and cut a key for my bike, and he got nowhere. I was not impressed by his competence

Oh, one more thing. My bike is a 2012 Sprint GT, and has no electronics in the key.

Ah, yeah see they should be able to do it. I’m gonna just call triumph dealers all over the country till I get one who says they’ll do it lol. I’m determined not to have this become a $1000+ expense

And yeah I’ve found zero locksmiths who can do motorcycles it’s crazy

Could you actually tell me which dealer told you they’d give it a try? If you don’t mind
