Woodruff key: I am pretty sure I have all the various keys in my stash of spares. Which one do you need?

Battery is a 12N5.5-3B and you could pick one from Cycle Works though I would phone ahead. They may have to bring it in but it shouldn't take more than a day or so.

The headlight bulb is 12V2525BA and not readily available though scooterwest.com probably has them. 12V3535BA are more common and I think will also work though a bit dim at low engine speeds. The two main Canadian parts distributors list them. Motovan's part number is 04-145A and Parts Canada's number is 257151.

I am busy in the early evening. When I get back, I'll have a dig and call you if I have one. Pretty sure I do.

thanks Jon,

I went by and picked up the key. Ugh I went to Top gear today and paid close to 100 for a battery and a bulb

The battery is expensive so use a battery tender to look after it in the off-season. However, the bulbs should be cheap as chips. The retail price is under $2 from Motovan & Parts Canada, not halogen though.
