    Replacement ignition w/key for GS1150es....

    So I'm buzzing dow Hwy. 880 going back home to San Jose after a business meeting and my keys decide to come out of the ignition and fly away (F@#K!) ,bike still with the ignition on and I did make it home, the ignition is pretty worn out and I'm thinking I should source a replacement rather than have another key made (didnt make copys of the keys I had made-genious!) , I've bought a couple for some of the Yamahas I had in the past , I called one shop here , Road Rider, and they say they can get one for the GS1100 . Would this be the one for my '85 GS1150es ? or am I SOL and have go to the dealer if I want a new one? thanks guys-

      An 1100 ignition is a bolt in for the 85 1150E. I replaced mine with with one. The only difference is the switch is about 1/4" shorter, so the face height will be slightly lower.

              The ignition I used was made for an 83 1100.
