OEM Key Blanks...Where?

[Vmaxattacks]

I am looking to get a couple of OEM key blanks for my '93. Can anyone recommend a place other than the stealership...even if they di have them?

Thanx,
Bud

if you want OEM that pretty much means you are at the mercy of the dealer. a good locksmith or key shop (not wally world or home despot) should have yamaha type blanks. but they will likely be about a 1/4-1/2 longer than OEM. $2 or $20....your call...I already looked and went for the $2 option myself

generic Yamaha pattern blanks or correct length SHORT key blanks? The key shops i go to have generic blanks for all the bikes...but they are LONG so one size fits all for a given pattern. it works but I would much rather have a nice short key...less chance of the key twisting and bending over time i think.

also a good option if you can wait a few days.

I have those "Ilco" generic long nickel-plated brass keys now. I got ahold of Mr. Keys in Hawaii and he has the OEM-looking (n0 logo) blanks for $7.00 a piece. I guess those will be okay.

Redbone thanks for that key link. I ordered two extra key blanks for mine last night and they were shipped this morning. Total for shipping and the two blanks was $17. They look just like the original. Mike

Excellent, if you get a chance, please shoot a picture so we can see what they look like in the flesh.
TIA
