Bike only came with one key... I know with the newer bikes it can be a pain getting an extra key (don’t get me started on FOBS) but curious what blank to use to have another one made...

Just had a few blanks cut the other day. Sorry, I'm not around them, but they were standard ILCO or Taylor blanks. Nothing special. $6/EA. I went to one of those key kiosks to see what they offered. $40/EA !!!!! Support your small locksmith. I can get they have the right blank.

As others have suggested local locksmith. I recently picked up a project bike with only 1 key, stopped by locksmith, was in and out under 2 min and it cost $4 to have a spare made.

At one time I had access to a key cutting machine, courtesy of a buddy of mine who among other things is a locksmith.
Cutting keys was downright easy. Finding proper blanks in the pre-Internet days was a little more challenging.

Ace Hardware is a good place for keys.

Had my local small Honda dealer cut two for me at $5 a key. Took him about 3 minutes. He had his own hand held key cutter because he use to be a repo man. Told me he could cut a key for any machine in a minute or so. (With no fob of course)

Here’s another vote for https://www.cyclekeysonline.com/ if you want a key with the factory-like plastic top like I did. Great service and quick turnaround. |

Do you have the OEM key with the key number on it? Most good lock smiths can cut from this code rather than making a copy of your used/worn key. $5-10. I then get a copy cut from the new key, and put the code cut key away somewhere safe to be used to make copies from.

Especially a good idea if your only key is worn. They all lose some of their "sharpness" after years of pushing the tumblers into position. A traced copy of a worn key is, well, worn. If you have a good key, having a spare or two isn't a bad idea. |
