Can you define what you mean by "fob?"

Whern I think key fob I picture the keyless entry units on modern cars. If you are looking for a replacement key then check out http://www.hondakeys.com/

I've no idea what you mean either.
'Then' and 'than' are completely different words and have completely different meanings. Same with 'of' and 'have'. Set and sit. There, their and they're. Draw and drawer. Could care less/couldn't care less. Bought/brought FFS.

Key fobs of yesteryear were often leather with an enameled Honda motorcycle wing, etc.  Odds are the fob or key chain was a dealer thing, not a Honda Motorcycle company thing.

This is the closest thing I've found to the shape of what was rotting off the original key ring.

Correct back in the day they were nice now just plastic.

There were no key fobs at that time.
The dealer got 5 keys from Honda. They gave the customer 3 keys on a round wire circle.
The dealer I worked for even kept one of the mirrors (r/h) and the can of touch up paint.
The dumb thing is that the dealer did not even tell the customer about the touch up paint or the other mirror. One day a large box of that paint and mirrors was taken to the dump.


Repeat after me..... "I cannot control what others do."
There are a lot of things in the world that are not fair.

I understand the keys and the paint, but why keep the r/h mirrors?
