keys for 83 venture

[Guest ray griffiths]

i bought an 83 venture for parts and it turned out to be a great fixer upper. problem is that i don't have the keys to it. does anyone out there have the complete ignition set for a venture for sale. i need the main ignition, saddle bags, fuel cover, rear bag and dash compartmet ignition and key? Ray.

I wonder how much a locksmith might charge to make a key for your bike? that would probly be easier to find

i might be wrong, as far as your year model goes, but on my '86, one key does it all!i would remove the ign. and take it to a locksmith. have him re-key it, or make a key that will work ,just like the original.

JT has it, one key fits all. Take Ignition off and take to locksmith.

You may also want to check with your local Stealership and see if they can come up with a key using the VIN or something like that. I know it's been done before on other models as long as you can prove ownership...

NEway of getting the original key type? Getting tired of the old worn out non-yamaha key that I use.

Hey Ray,

 

I just ran across your post, and wish that I had caught it earlier. I also have an '83 VR, and would have been more than glad to have sent you a copy of my key. 'Glad that you got it straight anyway, though.
