Yes, I know I should have made an extra key, but like a lot of things it kept sliding back on the to-do list. So here I was, no key and the bike miles from home. Fortunately we have a trailer we share among the folks in Southern California CMA and a friend could go get it and help me out.
While I was looking around the switch area for a key code or serial number, I realized I could get the ignition tumbler out! Since I was headed out soon on a business trip, I took it with me and had a locksmith match a replacement key to the tumblers. Of course, he gave me a hard time about only having one key (or losing one key!) and made a second one.
I got it home and re-installed everything, as you can see in this video:
The problem I now have is that the key works fine on getting the bike running but won't open the gas tank and remove the seat. One cut may be off, or the ignition tumblers are more work than the others. I'm headed to a local locksmith to see what they can do before destroying my fuel filler lock.
I'll post an update either in the comments or in a new post later.
