for those locksmith prices you could probably find a used ignition stuff on ebay for cheaper. I got my ignition and gas cap for like $80. So get a price from the dealer and from a few locksmiths and then look around on ebay or craigslist first and see if you can find a used one for cheaper. If not just get a new key made then. Im sure the dealer will be the most expensive though.

The key code is on your ignition block brake side. Turn your handlebars to the left and look at the block. If you have good eyes, you'll see a set of letters/numbers engraved. You'll barely be able to see the engraving, and they do it purposely so it's not easy to read.
Most ppl take the time to take the ignition out and get the codes. The best way to do it is to get a piece of scotch tape and put it over the codes. Get a pencil and draw over the tape and codes. Pull it off and you'll have your codes on the tape. You can then call in your order for a $2 key. It's what I had to do when losing mine. It also made me realize that I need to keep my bike locked up beyond an ignition lock lol.

Could be a year thing. On my 2001 the Manual clearly says if you lose 1 of the 2 keys get ur butt to a Stealership asap and they will use the plate number to make the keys, up to 4 at a time. If not it will require a new ignition unit. Im not arguing, just repeating what came in my manual.

EDIT: ... did a quick search ... looks like all the US spec bikes are not equipped with HISS ...
