**Victory key quick facts**

- Polaris announced on January 9, 2017 that it would wind down the Victory Motorcycles brand, and committed to supplying parts for 10 years.
- On Victory cruisers the key number is stamped into the shaft of each key; the Vision and Octane came with it on a small metal tag.
- Replacing a Victory key with no originals takes the key number, a Victory key blank, proof of ownership and a dealer or locksmith equipped to cut it.
- The common Victory key blank is sold as fitting most 1999-2017 models but not the Vision or the Octane.
- On the Victory Vision, the ignition key also operates the fuel door, the saddlebag doors and the trunk.

Victory Motorcycles built American V-twin cruisers and baggers under Polaris from the 1999 model year until Polaris announced the brand's wind-down in January 2017. Many of these bikes are still ridden today, from Vegas and Kingpin cruisers to Cross Country and Vision baggers. Their keys are refreshingly simple: Victory's owner's manuals describe a conventional cut key, copied from an original on a Victory key blank, with no proximity fob or rider PIN to pair. That makes a lost Victory key a cutting job, which a mobile locksmith can handle at the bike.

We cut spare keys from your original, make new keys when every key is gone, repair worn ignition switches, extract broken keys, and fix fork, gas cap and saddlebag locks, at your location in San Diego County, Ventura County, Santa Barbara or Goleta. With the brand closed, getting the right blank matters: the common Victory blank is listed as not fitting the Vision or the Octane, so tell us your exact model and year when you book.

## Victory key types by model and year

| Years | Models | Key type | Chip | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1999-2017 | Cruisers (V92C, Vegas, Kingpin, Hammer, Jackpot, High-Ball, Gunner, Judge, Boardwalk) | cut key, no fob or PIN | no | Uses the common Victory key blank. The cruiser owner's manuals say the key number is stamped into the shaft of each key. |
| 2010-2017 | Cross Country, Cross Roads, Cross Country Tour, Hard-Ball, Magnum | cut key, no fob or PIN | no | Baggers add saddlebag locks, and the Cross Country Tour adds a trunk. Victory issued a service advisory for saddlebag lock wear on 2010-2016 bikes with factory hard bags. |
| 2008-2017 | Vision Street, Vision Tour | cut key on a Vision-specific blank, no fob or PIN | no | One key works the ignition switch, fuel door, saddlebag doors and trunk. The common Victory blank is listed as not fitting the Vision, so the correct blank has to be sourced. |
| 2017 | Octane | cut key, no fob or PIN | no | Closely related to the Indian Scout and listed as not taking the common Victory blank. |

## Victory keys by model

Each page covers the key and immobilizer by year, which locks share the key, and what a lost-key job involves for that model.

- [Victory Cross Country and Cross Roads](https://themotorcyclelocksmith.com/ventura-santa-barbara/makes/victory/cross-country-cross-roads/): 2010-2017. Victory's Cross baggers use a conventional cut key with no fob or PIN, so a lost key is a cutting job that can be done at the bike from the key number or from the lock.
- [Victory Octane](https://themotorcyclelocksmith.com/ventura-santa-barbara/makes/victory/octane/): 2017. The Octane is a keyed bike with nothing electronic about its key.
- [Victory V92C, V92SC and Touring Cruiser](https://themotorcyclelocksmith.com/ventura-santa-barbara/makes/victory/v92c-v92sc-touring-cruiser/): 1999-2006. The original Victory V92 bikes are the simplest of the brand for keys.
- [Victory Vegas, Kingpin, Hammer and Judge](https://themotorcyclelocksmith.com/ventura-santa-barbara/makes/victory/vegas-kingpin-hammer/): 2003-2017. Victory's cruisers, from the first Vegas to the last Gunner, use a plain cut key with no chip, fob or PIN.
- [Victory Vision](https://themotorcyclelocksmith.com/ventura-santa-barbara/makes/victory/vision/): 2008-2017. The Victory Vision uses one conventional cut key for the ignition, the fuel door, the saddlebag doors and the trunk, with no fob or PIN.

## Victory immobilizer and chip keys

Victory's US owner's manuals describe a plain ignition key rather than a proximity fob or rider PIN. Extra keys can be copied from an original on a Victory key blank, and a lost key can be replaced from the key number. Security on these bikes comes down to the ignition and steering lock, plus the saddlebag and trunk locks on the baggers. Aftermarket keyless ignition modules were sold for the Cross Country, Cross Roads, Vision and Magnum, so if a previous owner fitted one, let us know before we arrive.

## Lost all your Victory keys?

Victory's own manuals list what it takes to replace a key when both originals are gone: the key number, a genuine Victory key blank, proof of ownership, and a locksmith or dealer with the equipment to cut it. We bring that visit to you. We confirm your ownership, identify the correct blank for your model, cut the key from the code or from the lock if the code is lost, and test it in the ignition and any other locks it should open.

Have your photo ID and the registration or title ready, along with the VIN and the exact model and year. Look for the key number, stamped on the key shaft or on the small metal tag that came with some models, and the key number page in the owner's manual, where the first owner may have written it down. If the bike has saddlebags or a trunk that are locked, mention it, since those locks may need a working key too.

**Have this ready when you call or text**

- Year, make and model of the bike
- Where the bike is parked
- Whether you have any working key, a broken key or a key code
- Photo ID and registration or title (we verify ownership before making a key)

**Need a Victory key in Ventura & Santa Barbara?** Call or text with the year and model and where the bike is. Call or text (805) 429-8452.

## Where to find your Victory key code

Where the key number is depends on the model. The cruiser owner's manuals, from the V92 through the Vegas and Kingpin to the 2014 cruisers, say it is stamped into the shaft of each key. The Vision and the Octane came with the number on a small metal tag on the key ring. Either way the owner's manual asks you to record the number on a page in the manual. If you bought the bike used, check the manual's record page and any tags in the paperwork. If the number is gone, a key can usually still be made from the lock itself.

## Victory dealer or mobile locksmith?

When Polaris announced the wind-down in January 2017, it committed to supplying Victory parts for 10 years, with service continuing through dealers that chose to stay involved. That window closes around early 2027, so genuine blanks and lock parts may get harder to find, and how much Victory experience a given Polaris or Indian dealer still has varies from shop to shop. A dealer that still services Victory can cut a key from your key number, though you may need to get the bike to them. A mobile locksmith comes to the bike, cuts the key on site from the code or the lock, and can repair the ignition or extract a broken key without a tow. For hard-to-find lock parts, the dealer's parts counter is still worth a call.

## Victory key FAQ

### Can I still get a key made for my Victory motorcycle?

Yes. Polaris key blanks for Victory models are still listed by parts retailers, and a locksmith or dealer can cut a new key from your key number or from the lock. Make sure the right blank is used, since the Vision and Octane differ from the rest of the line.

### Does my Victory have a chip key or immobilizer?

Victory's US owner's manuals describe a conventional cut key with no proximity fob or PIN, and they explain copying keys from an original on a Victory blank. If a previous owner added an aftermarket keyless or security module, that changes things, so mention it when you book.

### Where is the key number on a Victory key?

On the cruisers it is stamped into the shaft of each key. The Vision and the Octane came with it on a small metal tag on the key ring. Victory also asked owners to write it in the owner's manual, so check there and in any paperwork from your purchase.

### I lost both keys to my Cross Country. What do I need?

You need proof of ownership, meaning photo ID plus the registration or title, and ideally the key number. Without the number, a new key can usually be made from the lock. Let us know if the saddlebags are locked, so we can make sure the new key works there too.

### Will a Polaris dealer still service my Victory?

Polaris said in 2017 that parts would be supplied for 10 years and that service would continue through dealers who chose to stay involved. Experience with the brand varies from shop to shop, so check ahead. For keys and locks alone, a mobile locksmith can do the work wherever the bike is parked.
