Where to make copies of my motorcycle key?
So I'm looking to make a copy for my honda since it's the only set I have but from the research i've done so far, it doesn't look like I can just go to a lowes or walmart. Is that right? Huh

Any recommended places you guys have used that is not too expensive? I was originally hoping it would only be a couple of bucks @ walmart but I'm guessing it;s a bit more expensive at a locksmith?

Buy my stuff lol Shoei RF1100 faceshields for sale (should fit x12s too)

RE: Where to make copies of my motorcycle key?
I went through this hassle recently with my CBR600F. Mine has HISS (it says this on the ignition barrel), which means the key has a chip in it which needs to be recognised by the engine management system. Make sure the locksmith knows this and has a way to clone the chip in your existing key, otherwise the copy will turn the lock but won't start the engine!

I couldn't find a local locksmith able to do the cloning, so I did it another way: buy a key blank with a new chip in it, get a locksmith to copy my existing key (just the shape, not worrying about the chip), then follow a simple procedure involving an easily-obtained connector and resistor to introduce the new key's chip to the engine management system.
