Key numbers on 550F or late model K bikes.
« on: June 05, 2013, 11:54:06 AM »
I only have one key for my 76 550F and it works for everything, ignition and seat lock. I would like to have another one but I can't seem to find the key number in the usual places. On my K model I found it on the seat lock mechanism, not so for the F model. Any guesses?

Is it not on the ignition switch? Isn't the number on your old key?

Its not the same kind of number. There is a certain number when ordering keys but mine doesn't match anything. As far as the switch its the newer style with the steering lock built in.

I looked on both my 550f's. Both are on the underside of the key ignition

Thanks Tews!

Update: Got it. Glad the ignition switch is original.

I wish I had thought of that...
