New Key Holder

[Cruzr Joe]

OK so the holder is only a piece of Duct tape, The idea here is that if you need to hide a unchipped key, here is a suggestion.

this is what you see when you open the small glovebox on my Spyder, do you see the key??? No you don't because it is hidden in plain sight.

now if you look under the lid, you will see that the key is taped to the under part of the glovebox lid, but you have to get down and look up to see it and most thieves are not that smart.


Just another suggestion for a place to store a spare key.

:clap: I did almost the exact same thing to mine!

Only I save the foam out of my 2010 glovebox, and it went in under that. :thumbup:

Joe, the bottom of the glove box (the foam insert) lifts right out! Most people have no idea it does!

I cut a slight indent into the bottom of the foam insert and put the key in there.

Nice idea with the duct tape but check out what I am saying

Oh wait! Bob you saying the 2014/15 does not come with the foam insert?
I guess without all that heat they got rid of that too?

But what if?

What are you going to do if you turn the front wheels and lock the handlebar and then lose your key? That also locks your glove box, where the spare key is hidden! :banghead:

I have my non-chip key velcroed to the inside end of a mirror. Those can always be taken off.

I never lock the handlebars. Seems redundant to me.

Unchipped key?

Would you define the Unchipped key terminology? Don't we need a key with the chip in it to operate your SpYder?

 

[Bob Denman]

:agree: Why lock the bars? :dontknow:
Even with them unlocked... without the key; they'd need to pop the switch, to get power to unlock the parking brake...

...If they even knew of it's existence! :shocked:

And how far are they gonna push the thing?

An unchipped key is used only to unlock the Spyder compartments. I give my wife an unchipped key so she can get in the compartments and the trailer for two reasons, 1- Cost (about $3.00), 2- i can make as many as i want (chipped keys are expensive and you can only program up to four). So by putting a chipped key in a locked area, i or my wife or anyone else i designate can use the unchipped key to retrieve it if necessary. Note: my chipped key is also hidden in the locked area so just having access to the compartment does not mean you will find the chipped key.

Just like I don't always lock the trunk! And the frunk can be opened with a stick. Which is why my chipped key isn't kept in either of those two places!

Bob

The cooler conditions DO make it a bit unnecessary.
But I saved mine, because I've got my garage door opener mounted into it!
I just cut a properly sized and shaped hole, and it works perfectly!

JUST A THOUGHT

They also make BLACK duct tape....:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:.....Mike :thumbup:

 

[Bensonoid]

Had i thought to save my foam i would do the same thing.

Cruzr Joe

How much will you give me for mine? I'm so happy I don't need it anymore I'll gladly part with it. I like having twice the space in the glovebox. PM me.

 

[MouthPiece]

Joe, just a heads up. I did the same with my 2010 RT and if that is duct tape you are using, it will get kinda sticky after awhile from the sun heat. Great idea though.

Joe grabbed it.

:thumbup: I'm glad that he did... It's better that it get used, than sit waiting for me to buy another bike that needs one.
