Not Safe For Work
Decided it was time to get a couple of spares made and hide one somewhere on the bike, what with my absent-mindedness getting worse with every passing decade. By the way, called the Yama dealer for a key--he said he'd sell me a blank for his cost, $7.99, and any locksmith would cut a new one from my original. I called a local locksmith, since the dealer was 20 miles away, and he said yeah, he had Yamaha blanks. Total cost for two copies: $6.00. Be advised.
So anyway, where's a good place to stick the spare key? Naturally want it out of sight and secure, but of course the best places need a key to get to, like under the seat, side cases, etc. For now, mine's stuck in the back of the seat (a Corbin) where there's a cut-out to insert the optional removable sissy bar. It has a velcro flap covering the hole, so it works, but doesn't seem all that secret of a place. Better ideas?
