Not VIN, but key-code on back of helmet lock. Starts with Zxxxx followed by numbers.

I suppose with computers and databases, you can store with every VIN, the key-codes that goes with each bike. From what I can gather that's not done. What dealers have is database of key-coded and corresponding cuts to make key. Apparently being independent dealers, some of them don't even save that info for older bikes.

Locksmiths may save that info, since they probably pick up quite a lot of business like this that dealers don't want to bother with.
