I got one for my RSTD made at ACE hardware. They have blanks for all makes of motorcycles. I don't think Walmart has them. If you can't find one let me know and i will get one and send it to you.

+1 on Ace. I bought the bike used and the ignition was replaced at one point so I was using 2 keys. One for ignition and one for the bags/trunk. I had one side cut for the ignition and one side cut for the bags/trunk.

 

Works like a charm. You have to work the bags/trunk a little bit but it works. I am thinking about putting some graphite in the bags/trunk locks to help lubricate it a bit.

I had mine made at a local locksmith. They had the blanks in stock.

 

If you go to Ace/True Value/Hardware Hank/etc. make sure you test it before walking away. I tried to have one done at a hardware store and it didn't work. Apparently, the key machine was worn out since it doesn't appear to be rocket science to make a key.

 

They are about $1 at the hardware store, about $2 at a locksmith. Just my $0.02.

HAD SOME MADE FOR MY 86 AT SEARS. YOU KNOW THOSE LITTLE "FOTOMAT" BOOTHS IN THE PARKING LOT? HE USED A "DATSUN" KEY AND IT WORKED FINE.

Funny you should mention that. The Ace guy said way back in the day, Ford used 2 different cuts on each side of the key just like what he did for me. He said you could start 2 different Fords that way.

Like others are posting, Ace is the place to go. The first key I had made was at a "Keys Made" kiosk in Sears parking lot, but then I found out about ACE. Here are the blank numbers: Ilco ym63, Tayler X 248, Curtis yn 63, Silca yh35r

Check with ACE and if you need more help, let me know..

 

Keep the rubber side down.

You can still do this... we have 2 fords and one key! And we only go to True Value to get keys made.... When we are down to one ford and the bike, I'm gonna do it again!

I got them you all were right. ACE is the PLACE. I was out shopping and stop at differnt places (Walmart True Value) but ACE was the only ones to have the blanks. I got 2 made for under $5.00. Thanks
