Making a key by the code number.

Thanks for the post. I broke my only key in the tank lock to my 95 Police1000 yesterday and this info was very useful. A local locksmith was able to help make a new one and it was a whopping fifteen bucks. As luck would have it I was able to get the broken piece out without causing damage.

I sent a message to the OP (rstnick) regarding getting some keys made up for my 1980 Kawasaki 750 LTD. Does anyone know if he is still around and can still do this? If not, can someone else point me in the right direction? Thanks all.

I would also like to know the answer to the same question. I have the same bike and have the key code. Anyone here can do it?

Send me an email at rstnick@hotmail.com as I don't see posts here often enough.

Hey Rob,

Got the key today that you made for me...it works perfectly! Thanks so much...I was stuck with only a very poor copy that hardly worked as my only key. Awesome work!

i had to have a locksmith cut me a new key this past weekend by code since the original key i was using was all fucked up by the last owner and it couldnt even be put in the clamp to be manually cut. it looked like they beat the damn thing up with a chisel. it costed me 20 bucks to have it done.

Hey all, heres a trick I use. My Kz1000r is keyed on one side of a key,
and my zrx1100 is keyed on the otherside.My local locksmithe did it for me,
and it works great. later,s1elr,steve

Wow, that's a cool idea. I'll definitely have to try that sometime.

I've had a couple of basket case bikes that came with no keys.
Took the tumbler apart and ebay searched the whatever numbers I found.
I've found keys for everything I looked for. Last one as an 81 yam xs850.
6.00 to my door, FWIW, you might try that if you know the key #
I read somewhere they only made so many different combo's

Ok...thats BEYOND a cool idea.
Brilliant, never would have thought of that.

I lost the only key to my 1979 kz 1000 ST. How much do you charge?

I'm ready for another one myself...maybe two. Will be in touch shortly.
