Spare parts that worth having at home?

So your dad only had one key?

I remember when I was a kid, my neighbor lost the keys to his Honda motorcycle. We road our bikes to the dealer and the guy pulled a box of keys out and said "pick one". Honda only made 3 or 4 different keys.

Nope. Three keys.
These were all 84s so don't thin that applied yet.

Here is one in comparatively good condition.



We eventually took all three and combined them into one semi decent one and then dropped a 5 liter out of an 85 Mustang into it. Lasted about 6 months before the frame twisted like a pretzel and the rear end twisted off.

Back in the early 80s I bought two Hondas, a CB900F for the road and about a year later, a CB750F to build a race bike. Both had the same key number.
