Full lock/key sets?
« on: January 12, 2011, 12:22:15 PM »
My new project didnt come with any keys, so I was wondering if there is any place that sells replacement ignition switches, seat locks, and gas cap locks in a set with matching keys?  I read in another post that the gas cap can be opened with anything, but I think it was a newer model in that thread, mine is a 74' and I cant get it to unlock with a screwdriver.

Gascap lock on yours should be the universal key type. Picture?  

Wrong screwdriver i guess. try a small key like from a padlock.

Don't know about the rest...

If your ignition, seat lock (and fork lock?) appear to be in working order, probably cheaper to get keys than a set of locks.  Hondakeys.com and other sources. Number on face of the lock(s).

Thanks.  No pics of the cap handy, but its the stock flip up chrome deal.  I'll try something different to see if I can get it unlocked.  I'll check on that site, I didn't know I could get a key for an existing lock.  Did Honda just use a few standard key cuts for all their bikes?

More than a few, but easily identifiable from the number on the face of each lock. Hopefully they are all the same and a couple of keys are about $15 I think. A full set of locks would have to be $100+ and they may not match.

There should be a T#### number either on the face or somewhere on hte lock mechanism. You may have to take the seat lock apart and find the number on top of the lock mechanism. I bought keys from this guy, worked like a charm. I got lucky and the seat and steering locks were origianl and take the same key. The ignition is after market and will be replaced soon with 2 new keys.

There are other places to buy Honda OEM keys as well.
