dont think anyone will believe this but it seems like my cat has been playing with my bike keys and hidden them somewhere i've looked everywhere i dont want to wait until they turn up so does anyone happen to have an ignition barrel i know its unlikely but i thought it was worth asking?? Looks like a new ignition barrel will cost about £35. www.bikepartsuk.com/?i=1493But I notice you say 'bike keys'....rather than just one ignition key. I Hope you can still take your seat and petrol cap off because normally the one ignition key will do all of these things.... I always dread losing keys ever since I lost mine when I was camping. I eventually found them in the grass after searching for hour. I now keep a spare set of keys (ignition and U lock) hidden permanently on the bike. But I've since been told that if there's a number on the original key, you should make a note of it so you can get another one cut.... I hope you find your keys soon....

Kev, just a thought... Once you've removed it, check the old petrol cap to see if the key number is stamped on it somewhere. I seem to remember a thread on the forum which mentions this, but I can’t find it at the moment. It may be possible to get a new key cut which will fit the old ignition barrel, petrol cap and seat.

had a good look but couldent see anything but the light isent great in the shed i'll check in daylight and let you know cheers will be very useful if its there This issue has cropped up before and I think the answer you’re looking for is given by ‘Pops’ in the link below: growell.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=body&thread=792&page=1To quote Pops: If the key is the same for all three, ignition, tank and seat all you need is the number off the ignition block on the face were the plunger comes out to lock the steering wheel.The number will be something like 4QMB81 the last three in red are what you need to get a replacement key.So you should check the old igniton block as suggested above, and not the fuel cap as I suggested..... Hope this helps. (My memory gets worse as I get older).... If you manage to find the key number, you could try the following: www.keysinthepost.com/actinic/HondaKeys.htmlMake sure you select the right year e.g. 1990-2000.
