What you need

Getting keys made from codes requires two things.

  • Key Codes
  • Proof you own the bike

Where to go

Some locksmiths may be able to do this, it depends on how well they are set up. The bigest problem with going to a locksmith is cost. They easily charge twice what other options cost.

The best place to go is a motorcycle dealer with a key cutting machine. The added advantage of doing this is that you can get an actual OEM key blank, so that the replacement key actually is identical to the stock key.

I needed keys for my late model Honda. After, calling around I found that Golden Gate Cycles in SF and East Bay Motorsports or Freemont Honda (can't remember exactly).

Anyway, no problem. I was able to get a perfect key from code from a dealer for a reasonable price.

Keys from Locks

This requires removing a lock from the bike.
