Default Key Blanks??

Anyone know where I could purchase Key blanks for an 01 F4i?? My dealer does not stock them, and I havent had any luck finding them on ebay (Id rather not have a key with a giant skull on it). No one in my area stocks blanks as long as our bikes require. Knowing me, id rather have more than one key!! Thanks guys!

-Dave

I agree with the skull thing. Have the dealership order it. i just did it and it was like $11.00. The only place that i could find one

Have them order them just like any other Honda part. Have a locksmith cut the key. In my experience the dealers don't do a good job cutting keys.

My dealer told me that they wont order individual keys because its not worth it for them. Apparently they make a large order in may or june for bike keys, and frankly I dont want to wait that long. Its the runaround for sure. Are there any online parts sources for OEM key blanks?

I think the scull keys are pretty cool, but a little steep on price. Thats a portion of change that could go to my Zero Gravity Double Bubble. $11 for a key is pretty laim too.

I was a parts manager for a honda M/C dealership a few years back, and that is a load of crap.....You also need to find another honda dealer...The OEM balnks(which is what you want) have a part-number just like anything else (Honda OEM #---> 35121-MAS-G01) and is ordered by them as EACH, not in lots...$11 sounds about right....Whoever said have a locksmith cut it is correct...dont let the dealer do it, especially one who wont order the dang blank for you..

Hope this helps

btw, the key blank os from a 2004 parts fiche...the number may have been superceded..The honda dealer should be able to tell you

Dude, just go to a local locksmith. call around and ask who has motorcycle keys. I jast made one about 3 weeks ago for.....get this...................$2.50!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!! Forget about that dealer B.S!!!!! I had to go to like 3-4 places, but it was worth it. I went to a little local place called abra-cadabra. Key works fine too. Got a car key and bike key for less than $5!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Call around.
