    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.

    I got blanks at Ace hardware....don't be like me. I got knobs, but they had a white dot on them. They work fine, and really do look like radio knobs!

    I've had far better success with 'real' locksmiths than those jokers at "insert big-box store here" who only (barely) know how to use their machine.

    I noticed the cubby lock has spring action that pushes on the key after you pull it out a bit, or it feels that way. Think it will stay in there while on the road??

    Never noticed that on my bike. Thousands of miles and no issue.

    I used to leave a key in the cubby key hole until a couple of weeks ago. After riding I noticed it was halfway out and even angled toward the ground. One more bump and I probably would have lost the key. I still have a tendency to leave a key in the saddle bag key hole (some times on purpose) but haven't noticed any key travel.
