Does your set of keys ruin your yoke/tank? - Page 2 - SV650.org

Yeah, used to have a Velcro patch on the alarm fob on the black Sv, with corresponding part on the yoke. Very useful. Stopped it jiggling about and breaking the only alarm fob for the bike......or losing it whilst riding!

Single key with a leather fob for me also-------------and a clip laynard with the other keys and remote for the alarm under my jacket so that it doesn't get wet.

I have ignition key, disc lock and luggage keys on mine. I have pushed a 10mm length of tube over the key to stop them scratching, just used some fishtank air line i had in the garage does the job

single key with a quick realise catch, my key is also a flip key for my alarm.

Seems the best way then is to get a Velcro patch and shrink my bunch!

Believe me single key is the way--------------I have had to replace so many ignitions for people who have key bunches on both cars and bikes.

Thanks for the heads up, very glad i asked!

Little stainless lanyard, green flexy plastic over it and a little stainless snapgate krab. Loop other keys onto wire to make a bunch.

Also good to loop around something on trackday so you don't lose keys in grass in a tumble.

Got loads of them if anyone wants one.

I'll have one!

I have a lanyard round my neck with all my main keys on, and ignition key is on a loop which i unclip so only have the ignition key actually in the ignition.
