keys

Post by warby221 »

Need some help guys and gals?

When I got the storm it only came with one key :cry:

I’ve had 4 cut up to now and not one will work properly the original must not be the original but a copy that’s slightly out

So I’ve decided to bite the bullet and get one from a Honda dealer
So before I start striping the bike to get to the locks any one know which barrel if any has the key number on it

Hiya Warbs,

Not sure about the barrels having numbers on 'em, never taken mine out.

What you should have is a plastic credit type thing with a code number on, there's also usually a metal tag with key code number as well.

Rather than Honda dealer I'd recommend David Silver spares as they're usually cheaper.

Alternatively, there's a lock set on flebay at the moment ....

Well no metal tag or credit card type thingy in my bike stuff :(
Was hoping to get a key as I don’t fancy drilling out the ignition barrel to change it as they have those snap of bolts that hold it to the yokes

was looking at about £20 ish for a key as it’s not one with the immobiliser
And it’s a lot of work getting the top yoke of to drill out the snap bolts
at £50 id be better off taking pet cap and key to a locksmith and save the hassel of the drill mike i'd just be sh*ged if some one put the keys under the seat :lol:
