Went to the local locksmith and got three spares for only ten bucks! And there wasn't any truck for me to take a picture of my bike with, lol.

Checked them all before I left the locksmith. Just out of curiosity, if I were to have a HSS (I think thats what its called) ignition, I wouldn't be able to just get a copy made from the locksmith?

I bought the 3headphones blanks from ebay and got them all cut for my bike. They work better and look better then the original. I got all 3 blanks cut for $10my from locksmith.

Random thought.... I wonder if Brass/Nickel (or whatever they use for keys) degrades over time. My Original '01 keys are kind of 'flexible', whereas my newer locksmith made keys are so much more substantial and rigid.

Stay about from the eBay key blanks - mine literally got stuck in the ignition somehow and then the plastic cap split! Buyer beware...
