C-10 Ignition key blank quest

by Gottaride on 28 Mar, 2012 17:11
Spent quite a while searching for the correct key blank for the C-10. My bike is a 1994. Have read elsewhere that not all years of the C-10 take the same blank. Lots of conflicting advice on the net as to what actually fits. Ilco and Silca appear to be the two main suppliers that have shown up.
Can anyone offer a Ilco and or Silca blank code that actual works on your C-10, please include your bikes year. Thanks

Ilco blank I have is stamped "X103" in upper left and "KA14" in upper right. Not certain which is the code; mine is a 2005. As you can see I have an uncut one. Pretty sure I got two off ebay for a nominal price. Not sure what postage or customs/etc. to Canada would be, but if not too involved or expensive, you can have the uncut one if it will work, will mail it to you for having the world's best bike!

KA14 is the code for the Ilco keys. Works fine in an 06. I haven't heard that there is a different blank needed for any other year.

Hey Throb nice offer thanks. Rereading my initial post it appears I'm asking for an actual blank from someone....oops . Sure enough someone steps right up and delivers...ya gotta dig that. Thanks but save that blank for yourself just in case. OK so the KA-14 x103 has popped up enough and is now a confirmed fit, yeah. I read somewhere (the web can be so full of **** at times) that the KA-14 doesn't fit, phooey. I'll ask the local locksmith to order me in a few blanks.
Heading out for Mexico in May or so and currently have but the one ignition key $:-\$

I went to a local locksmith in Ottawa, he provided a blank and made me a copy for $5.

Yeah I had a Calgary locksmith cut me some copies. IIRC they used a Silka KA-15 but no joy. They do however work in the fairing pockets and seat lock, go figure.
