Yeah, my key was bent about 45 degrees from one of my girlfriend/riders. It never got worse after that, and was easier to insert without looking for orientation, though.

Looking at that bare frame reminds me of the supercharged SuperHawk I saw once: the builder/owner cut a section of that backbone out and flipped it around 180 degrees and welded it back in to make an open space for the Rootes-type supercharger, which became a piece of the upright frame section itself, after bolting to that flipped-back curved part - some real measuring-cutting finesse! That S'Hawk could top 100 MPH with him sitting up, too. He used an old Harley Linkert carb (aka "the metered leak") to fuel it, but he said the Honda fuel tap wouldn't deliver fuel fast enough after he drilled out the mainjet enough to stop the engine from overheating from lean mixtures. I don't remember how he fixed that part...
That bike made it into one of the old motorcycle magazines, too, I think it was a chopper mag?
