    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • This forum is for placing reviews for parts, accessories, gear and service as it relates to your GS motorcycle. The key here is "GS Related". There is a bit of latitude here but we don't want to see a review on Maytag washers just because that's what you use to clean your riding jacket in.

    Keep your review as factual as possible and please refrain from personal attacks. Posted articles will be reviewed by the Editors and may be removed at their discretion.

    So let's make this a useful addition to the forum! A special pat on the back goes to Hap Call for coming up with this great idea.

Has any one here bought the blank keys I have been seeing on Ebay. I can get one from Suzuki for $15 but have been seeing them on Ebay for $7. I just want to see if Any one here has had any experience with buying them off ebay.:)
 
i have seen them but i dont know the quality of them. bear in mind you will still have to pay to get it cut so probably paying 15 bucks to get a genuine key is a better option
 
I got my keys from a local locksmith, think they were about $3 apiece and she cut them as well.
 
I also just went to a local locksmith. Easy peasy. If you want a Suzuki logo on the key or something then I suppose ebay or the dealer, but for my money...it's just a key.
 
Thanks guys.. Didn't think a local locksmith would carry keys for our old bikes. Need to have one made for my truck too so I guess I will check home depot.
 
You gotta have the black plastic housing with Suzuki logo on it!
Not complete with just any old key blank.:)
 
There's a guy on Ebay AJJohnson or AJohnson or something who will cut you a key by number.
Have used him a bunch of times (but not for a while) & his prices are good.

I started a thread about him a while back that you can prob find in a search. Several others had good experiences with him too.
 
Any locksmith can cut a key by number, though I doubt Home Depot would have a blank. I just had one cut by number and a spare made. $2.50 for the blank, $5 cut by number, and $3 to copy.
 
Yes I seem to remember his prices were in the $7-8 range including blank/postage etc. Pretty hassle free. :)

This is the guy but he doesn't currently have anything listed. Probably get him with a message though :)
 
Go to Ace Hardware. They will have to order them from their warehouse, but they will order it, cut it, all for less than $3 a key IIRC.
 
The locksmith I have here ordered the keys from Suzuki, all they needed to know was the year model and even got the suzuki logo on them.
