Side bag key knobs

[Jeremy Mitchell]

If the Kipass key is a problem, why not have a conventional key made and use it?  It works.

Ummmmm, yup.  I think that is what the whole thread is about.  Just sayin.


Oh and welcome to the forum.

Where is everyone getting the extra keys? Can Lows or Home depot just cut them from a blank?

Slaters Hardware  in Lancaster Ohio. I had 4 made for 2 bucks a pop on my way down US 33 on the way to the Hocking Hills. I knew I was in business when he asked if " that Kawasaki key was left or right handed"

I tried 3 different locksmiths here locally and none of them had it in stock. One of them asked how many I wanted and ordered them ..... wrong offset on them. Knowing what I know now, sounds like Slaters knows what he is doing....... (but I am no where near Ohio)
I ended up ordering 4 blanks from ebay and had them cut locally. My intention is to make a couple key-knobs, but I just havent found the knob .................... you know, that just isnt sounding the way I want it to so I am gonna stop right there.

My local dealer had the blanks and made them for $3 each. Be careful, there are 2 types of blanks, mirror image from one another and each type will not work in the other's lock.

 The fourth place I tried was finally able to make me a set of keys. I thought the hard part was over.   Now I'm having a tough time finding a Cap/Knob that will work. I am also looking to do the same with my Givi E55 and will be looking for a Cap/Knob for that too. any ideas?

Take a walk down the sauce aisle at Walmart, plenty of bottle tops to choose from.

Nothing beats the toilet bowl caps.

Take your pick.

Do you have any knobs that go up to 11?
I need my bags to go up to 11.

[Conrad]

I think that 10 is as high as they go.

I'm going to WalMart and Home Depot today to look for knobs, Where did yoy find "Black" toilet bowl caps?
I also like the seat on your bike Excavator. What kind of seat is that?

The black knobs came from Lowe's.

To be honest, I'm not sure about that seat, I bought it from a member here. It is cut too low for my long legs (hurts my knees after a while) but I plan to add a sheet of memory foam to the front section to get back up to factory level and incorporate a smuggler or small trunk into the passenger part of it (don't like trunks hanging off the rear rack). I would be willing to trade that seat for a stocker if a rider with short legs was in need of it.
