The only key was stolen out of the ignition during a garage break in.
Little shits stole two cans of gasoline and took the key from the motorcycle.

Anyone had to get a new key made. I am hoping a locksmith could make one if I brought the ignition switch in.

Appreciate any comments.
 
Look on eBay. The key code is stamped on your ignition face. You might get lucky.
 
Link for copy

Something like this may work. I would also just like to add consider getting a new ignition. During a break in your only key was stolen, once you make a copy, 2 people have the key for your bike, you and a thief. If you don’t think they will come back then go for it and make a copy, but just consider the alternative as well. My :twocents:
 
Thanks for that.
I was about to list the bike for sale. Of course with a new ignition, I still can't unlock the gas tank, seat lock or forks.
I have seen that the 75 and earlier use a different style key from 76 and onward.
