Key blanks?

[aliensatemybuick]

Hi, I have a single key for my right hand side hard case cover, tied having one made and was told it was most likely a Yale Y9, but two local big box stores did not have one such blank in stock. Anyone know what blanks typically work, or if there is even a "typical" one?

No, but, unlike the box-store key machines with a limited number of blanks, a 'real' locksmith should be able to help you out.

Are the keys different for each fairing or is it sorta one key fits all? Just a thought.

Nope, the keys are all different. Quiet a few of them.

This thread covers some key talk.

Thanks for the link to that thread, some good info there.

The good news is I have a working key to the fairing pocket, so its just a matter of getting a copy made, either by a locksmith or at another box store (which I may try a couple more times first). Also I was able to get copies made at "Home Despot" for the "KG" saddlebags, which I have far greater occasion to use.

Michael, where did you get them?

 

[Terraplane Tom]

They have them on Ebay.

The square was smaller than my original key set, I needed to make new brass for the saddle bag mounts. I key coded them all the same. The larger knobs are easier to turn too.
