    Key number location on '83 GS1100E?

    Is this it?



    It is three digits...only ones I can find, so I'm thinking that's it.

      It should be. I also think they put the key on the back of the helmet lock as well. Why did you blank out the key number for the photo? I was going to take the E for a midnight spin at the next rally after I got "loose". Is there a followup tutorial in the works.

          No helmet lock...

          Well I could just leave my custom ignition switch on it...that way anyone could ride it if they need to...

              Just FYI if anyone is interested...I ordered a couple of keys from this guy...

              http://www.motorcyclekeys.com/


              He was recommended on a Ninja250 forum I belong to.

              Emailed him my key number and bike info last night...
              2 cut keys shipped for $30...

              Got an email this morning that they will be in the mail today...

              Good service right there.

                  If they work.
                  Why did you mark out the number? I wanted to ride your bike.

                      Once you get a key, Ace Hardware will order any blank you need for a very small charge. $2.00 or less, if memory serves me correct, including cut to your factory key.

                          Thanks...I actually have an uncut blank in my new parts stash.
                          As for my local Ace Hardware...they screwed up the last Suzuki key I had them cut.

                          But I need to see if this fresh key will unlock my stuck switch.
                          If it doesn't, I'll be shopping for a matched lock set for the bike.
