so i have 3 keys for the bike, 1 saddlebag key works both bags 2 ignition keys 1 works ignition and gas tank and 1 only works ignition I think thats weird ..why wouldnt they have made both keys open tank wierd
anyway i say that to say this all though Ive never lost my keys or any key issues at all ...I have seen others that have and that goes on after the lost keys what a hassle
so Ive always had a set of hide-a-keys hiding on my bikes i might have them taped on wire tied on zipped tied on or a keyring clip on somewhere on my bike ....theres several good place on these Valks to hide keys ...
I would tell you where mine are hiding but then i would have to kill you

hell im not even goin to work on my bike im going to hotrod it and treat it as such basic tinkering maybe a oil change here ther and ride it thats it i dont even want to wash it ever other day like i use to im riding it dirty looking like a rat rod ..i could go on and on but you all get the point I think

tastefully done? the heat is getting to you Dallas! I have a spre key zip-tied behing the left side cover. Plus I cut a key down, put it in a chrome cap with JB Weld. It stays in the ignition and you can't tell its a key. "Tastefully done"-I'm still wrestling with that  |

Some guys have used the stock end caps off of the Valk's grips and put the cut-down key in that. It looks really nice on the bike and blends in with the surrounding chrome so that you can't tell it's a key. Somebody must have a picture here...

that's what I used will try to send pics later on my 1st Valk I had LeatherLyke bags. I used acorn nuts to hold the keys and left them in/on the bags almost all the time. On that bike I put the ign. key in a zirc fitting and left it there. Kinda different. |
