Best way to get spare key made
Today I was opening up my gas tank and my key snapped in half leaving a piece in the gas tank. Luckily I was able to pull it out (big headache lol) and I have a spare key.
Since I only have one key now, I want to get another spare made. I called up my ace hardware and asked them if they cut bike keys- they said they do but I need to get a blank. I was wondering if it is ok to just order a blank from ebay and have it cut? I have an 02 F4i. Any help would be appreciated. And here is a pic of current key (it is not an original, at least I don't think it is).
Here is a link of the keys I was looking at on ebay.

Take it to a locksmith and have them cut you a new key. They have the blanks there. I paid $10, not worth ebay and trusting a hardware store employee to cut it right. If they screw it up, they cant replace the blank. Make sure you ride the bike there and try it in all the locks before you leave.
