Looking for genuine Yamaha key

[chrispyduck]

Only just joined this forum so I am new.
I am the proud owner of a beautiful 650B and to complete the restoration I would like a genuine Yamaha key. I have the pattern one which works well however if I would like to find Yamaha key number 1717. Does anyone know where I can find one or even Yamaha blank.
Thanks in advance.

According to this chart from a Yamaha tech bulletin, the key blank number you need is a 111 .....

..... and it would look like this .....

Good luck in your search. Watch eBay and I'm sure one will pop up eventually.

Thank you it looks like I have found one.

Nice 'B'! I'm also in the process of restoring my 650b, also not far from you in Herefordshire. Yours looks to be on another level to mine in all honesty, as much as I'd like a showroom finish at present I don't have the space or money for a complete strip down restoration. Are you struggling to find some of the obscure parts?

My bike came from D and K as good runner so no engine work necessary. Frame, paint and polishing got to where it is.

I'd been looking for a few months then mine came up just down the road in Penybont

We could arrange a meet up sometime.

Thanks a million 5twins.........
Did manage to find one on eBay in the UK exactly like the one in the pic. Got it cut locally................it just finishes off a nice restoration to have a genuine key

The Kendrick line of my family tree came from Shropshire....about 300 years ago. Nice B by the way. My first one was a B.
