Anyone every had a problem getting a duplicate ingnition key made? I took mine to the local locksmith (not a Wal-Mart or hardware store) and they couldn't find a blank that would work. They had Yamaha blanks, but not any that would work for a 79 XS1100F.

Sorry you're having trouble. I just had three copies made for my 79F at a local 'Smith. No trouble. $3.50/Each. If you continue to have trouble, I'd be happy to pick up a couple of blanks and ship them to ya.
Good luck,

I agree with Gary. I had keys made at the local locksmith with no problems.

Have to agree with everyone else here.... had a local locksmith make me a set of keys for ignition when I didn't even have the keys. Tell your local smithy that Suzuki blanks will also work.Brian

'cept the ign doesn't need it to turn..lol if you put the wrong key in it it won't work, but just turn it with a dime.. it will move right over...
At least i can say it starts on a dime..
