Can someone help me find the ignition key mod (Hiding inside a cover/cap to disguise the key) as I read about it a week or two ago but I cannot find it even after searching under key, ignition, toilet (there was a toilet plumbing fixture used).

Thanks to anyone who can help me find the thread.

barnawi is what I did. Worked great...

The chrome cap I found at Lowe's for towels used to cover the bolts that mount it to the ground. They fit perfect.

It is also in the Bang for the buck thread.

There are many do it your self mods that cost little to NO money. They can be found here

1. Adjust the rear brake pedal.

2. Throttle lock- cruise control

3. De baffling your pipes/to get a louder sound

4. Don't throw away your grip end caps/ key and rear axle mod.

Another take on the above link

5. cutting the beaver

6. Chrome grill Mod

Ive had this for over two years and it still looks pretty good. Be careful carying it in your pocket with coins and things that could scratch it up.

Its nice to sometimes just leave it in the ignition. You have to know the bike to find the key.

I love the "toilet mod". Who started calling it that?:bigthumbsup:

I used a 5/8" chrome bolt cover for an 18 wheeler. Got it from a truck chrome shop. It works great and look killer.

I went to the dealer and had the plain metal key made from the factory key. I had replaced my factory grips also and used the chrome end cap to do the key mod as others. I used JB Weld to hold the key in place and it came out great. A word of WARNING though!... When I left my house for a ride, I was pretty low on gas and didn't realize it right away so when I stopped, I had a really hard time getting the new key mod to fit into the gas cap and thought I was going to have to break it off! Fortunately, it all worked and did not damage the cap or new key. Now I never leave home without a separate key for the gas cap and another potential issue... the fork lock! Tom

I cut that plastic stuff off of the spare key and left the boulevard one as is. A pair of side cutters or wire cutters works great.

:doh:
why didn't I think of that?
good idea glaze:bigthumbsup:

And you dont have to epoxy it in. If the chrome wears off get a new one for .69cents

:agree:
i did the mod also, but i let the key stick out a bit further and also trimmed the cap down so it would work on the gas cap and front

I did the same, except I used a 15/16 chrome spike nut cover. And, it works in the fork lock and the gas cap
