Worth looking into you think ?
Pete.

Well you could easily cut the metal back on the key a bit till it fit.

Is there a story behind this post?
Did Jared lose his key and get stranded somewhere?

Heh Top Cat:
Yes, there is definately a story but I think the Prez would need to tell you directly and he may not want to in a public forum. Suffice it to say I thought his approach to hiding the key was extremely novel.

I tie wrapped mine to the bar up under the tank.

Mine's hidden so well I can't even find it!

Second day I owned the bike I lost the key, and had another made from the spare. I now leave the spare at home, never thought about hiding it on the bike. Good thread! I'll prolly hide one in the fairing when I get it installed

This I like.... easiest and quickest way to retrieve the spare without carrying anything extra.
Thanks mate.
