Where Do You Hide Your Spare Key?

beezer · 01-15-2008, 12:08 PM

Just curious what others do. I put mine in my tail light lens. It fit well on top of the reflector in there. Can't see it from the outside, don't know if the plastic melted , but with a small phillips screwdriver I know I won't be SOL.

I keep my spare in my wallet along with my spare car key.

On Judi's keyring.

Ive never carried a spare key on the bike, but it seems like a good idea, especially if your far from home or on a long trip. I think I'll get one hidden before to long.

On local riding I don't carry a spare. On trips wife keeps one in her bag.

A few months back, I pulled into a gas station on the Nad but had the key for the Classic (I never use the key in the ignition). I Had to call and have the right key delivered for fuel, and I've been thinking about where to carry a key since. I haven't figured it out. Maybe your idea will work for me????

My spare key is mounted with a plastic tie to the inside of the right side panel. It's not readily accessible because one has to have a phillips screw driver to get the panel off and get to it.

I keep my spare key in my wife's saddle bag and she keeps her spare key in my saddle bags. Hopefully we won't loose our keys at the same time!!! ::) But then sh*t happens..... :-/

I unzip the zipper on the backrest pad cover and slide the spare under there and zip it closed.

At home.

That's not a bad idea... right now I keep my key on a clip...so it's always with me... as for the spare..so far I've kept it in my wallet, it's just a little bulky there.

Mine is in my wallet. Trip's idea sounds pretty good though.
