Black radio knobs to glue key blanks into

[Fla_rider]

Well Baytown, not much of us Chaps in the U.S. will be useful as to where. Obvious reasons.

There are plenty of threads that do address this topic.

The low down is the black Honda Radio knob will not fit in the rear indentation. It's too big in diameter.

Here in the U.S. we get the blanks from any key place and use the 27R blank. I believe Hillman is the manufacturer.

Remember, you will cut the top some in order to fit it into a knob. Any knob will due just go find one you like at a Radio Shack if you have those down there.

In addition, there is a manufacturer that has remote control to open the panniers!

Contact F6B-RICH on the forum and see if he has any knobs and keys left. If not maybe he can point you too a source to buy them. The other thread is correct, the radio knob is too big for the saddlebag lock and you will have to source out another smaller knob for that application.

If you leave the key shaft a little longer, the radio knob will work in the saddlebag lock.

I used all metal blanks from Ace hardware. The one for the saddlebags have to be extra long, so when I cut the key, I cut it lengthwise parallel to the key on both sides then cut it to length. I used JB weld epoxy as the glue. I ordered the knobs from Shinhopples Honda via the interweb.
