Quick question for the group: Have you ever needed to get a spare key cut for your motorcycle? If so, where did you go to get it done?

I've had one done at Canadian tire.

Only thing holding any place back is the blank.
How fast is my 911?  Supras sh*t on on me all the time...in reverse..with blown turbos  :( ...

I have an old school locksmith shop close to my work, always flawless, even had him cut a key for an old Honda from a code from the ignition cylinder that worked great.

Couldn't find blanks for my Kawasaki at CanadianTire,  Went to a locksmith, key he cut didn't work. Gave up.

My BMW doesn't have an ignition key, but it does have a steering lock which I don't have a key for.  :(

BTW, Loew's had the the best prices for cutting keys last time I checked, dunno if they have bike keys.

Some dealers can order blanks for you.

Thanks Guys :)
Rumor has it, PartSource will have a good selection of the popular Motorcycle keys rolling out in the Fall....
They also have totally automated top of the line cutting machines, so anything cut there should work.
