hi all, new to the forum and need some advice, just bought a mk1 for £150 with no keys. does anyone know how to get a key cut? i dont really want to start buying new locks and petrol caps ect. as the rest of the bike is going to cost a fortune to get through the mot as it is. any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, remove the igntion barrel, and underneath there should be a number. take that no to your honda dealer for a new key.
Now obviously buying a bike with no keys isnt going to win you many mates over here, i do trust there was a V5 with the bike ?

yes i can see that post may have looked a dodgy, yes the bike came with a v5. its a complete basket case, it was sold by BIKE DIRECT in aug 2004,
has'nt seen a spanner or a wash since! as far as i can see every bearing and bush needs replacing and i havent heard it running yet!.......thinking about it........what have i done.
