Find a good locksmith in your town...
-In 1991, I purchased my first motorcycle, a 1970 CB-750-4 with a sandcast engine. I paid $120, and sold it a year later for $500- I thought I was a tycoon. I later discovered that the sandcast engine block made it worth over $3000...
Oh well-
After I bought the roaring tank of a bike, I promptly bought a HELMET and got a motorcycle endorsement added to my license. I then proceded to loose the one and only key that I owned...
I thought about taking the ignition apart and simply riding it without a key, but a rash of bike thefts in Vero Beach, Florida, where I was living at the time told me that this was not a good idea. I consulted with a local locksmith.
I brought the bike's ignition lock to him and watched as he rummaged in a drawer for what he called a "blank". He oiled up the lock with special black lubricant, and then inserted the key. He withdrew it carefully, then looked at it. Clamping it in a vice, he took a tiny round file and started filing it...basing his filings on subtle marks and waves in the oil film that remained on the key blank. I was skeptical.
My jaw hit the floor when he handed me a key that worked far easier than the key that I had lost!
-Don't ever **** off a locksmith...I'm convinced that they are witches and warlocks!
Normy!
