Key for The Valkyrie

[KY,Dave (AKA Misunderstood)]

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.

Cheap metal. weighs about twice the weight of key. And its just a slot ?????

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.

[Roidfingers]

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

Here are some good ones. About half way down is what you are looking for I think.

Lug nut. That works.

This is my key mod. The cap is heavy and I haven't had any problems

I had 2 keys cut for $28 delivered.
Using the key code on the JDM key... But the code is on the key switch and other locks.

Porsche 911 light alloy lug nut. (1/3 of it)

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.
