I can't see where all that weight hanging on the switch will be any good for the switch, nor the internal parts either.

I understand the concern, but when's the last time you picked up a cabinet pull? They weight next to nothing. |

Cool, Thanks  I'm gonna mess with that when I have time.  Bill, just don't imbed it too far in the knob. It won't open your gas tank if you do. |

Roidfingers, your key gave me an idea, to use a chrome acorn nut. It would look like it was screwed on tight to the bike.

If you can find a very large one. Might be a little tough to turn by hand otherwise. Would look good tho.

Watch the diameter & projection of the key. Too much diameter, not enough projection, can't open fuel tank. (Don't ask) Too much projection; you have a crevice between the nut/key & some idiot will come along & try to tighten it. There is a sweet spot. |

Ace Hardware cut mine, they had an experienced key maker.
As a side note, an easy way to hide a spare key on the bike is with a dab of silicone on the head, stuck to any clean surface. Easy to remove too if you don't overdo it with the silicone.

I used a ty-wrap on the coolant overflow hose on the other side of the bike. Easy to remove the plastic cover and cut / twist off the ty-wrap. |
