I finally made a cut off key and really think it stands out too much on the gas door or the cubby lock.

I would take it with me after locking a helmet there, not likely a casual passerby would ever even notice it.

The picture that you posted shows it in the lock for the helmet lock, so I can't comment on how it looks in the gas door or the cubby lock.
I made two such keys with the knobs, one for the cubby/gas cap (it normally stays in the cubby lock and I only move it to the gas door when gassing upo) and one for the saddlebag lock. I measured them and tried them to get them just the perfect length so that the knob fits nicely and looks built-in. After that, I did the epoxy to make the key solid in the knob.

I made one each for the cubby lock and the saddlebag lock. They stay in 90% of the time. Take them out when I leave the bike for an extended time. I never thought about the gas lock. The saddlebag one was the main reason. No one has a clue, except other owners.

Where do you guys get your keys made? Honda said they'd make my keys for free but would charge me $48 each for the blanks. Do lock shops and department stores carry the right blanks?
Lowes, a 27R will operate the locks but not the ignition. Just a few bucks.
I made one for the gas tank, one for the cubby and they stay in all the time. Once you cut them they aren’t long enough to start the bike and I figure only an F6B owner would know where the saddlebag lock is to open them. Typically I would never leave anything of value on my bike so I don’t get overly concerned regarding security.
is a dealer the best place to get a knob?
Lowe’s keys are a hit and miss. Just came from there. Got 2.
They both work in one direction. Have to mark which side is up.
But cheap is the key.
ITS ALL GOOD
I got mine from the dealer, shipping costs were a little ridiculous online.Originally Posted by olegoat345
