What I did was call my local locksmith and gave them the number to see if they could do it and both times I needed it done they were able to so. I also had them change the seat lock to match the ignition key. I think any good locksmith can do it for you!

Why pull the switch? I think I paid about $10 and they even gave me an extra key for free!

This place will cut a key from the numbers and do whatever else is needed.

www.motorcyclekeys.com

If your gas cap uses a different key than the ignition switch, you can cut one edge of the key for the ignition and the other edge for the gas cap.

You can also buy the key blanks from motorcycle keys and use a small rat tail file and make your own keys. That's what I did.

I also converted my gas cap to keyless.





You can also take the gas cap lock apart and remove all the tumblers so any key, including your ignition key, will work in the gas cap lock.
