Ok, so I have discovered on my "new" bike that the ignition key doesn't operate the helmet lock or steering lock. I am presuming that the ignition key is different and the other two are original. I have seen key blanks available for ST70' s but is there a way to make new keys for the locks on my bike? Or do I need to look for a new lock set for the steering and helmet locks?

Lee~ yes the numbers on the steering lock, helmet lock and ignition all match (#7890). But the key i have (i think #7078), which works in the ignition, doesn't work for the steering or helmet locks. Any ideas?

You won't be able to get the same key working on all the locks unless you get a new lock set (which is quite expensive). Your best bet is to contact the guy who runs this site: http://www.hondakeys.com/

He has a huge range of old Honda keys and you should be able to give him the lock number and you'll be able to buy the corresponding key. I bought a couple of keys from him about 2 years ago and they arrived in a few days (from the US) but I remember reading a post on here by another member a few months back saying that he didn't have the key for their particular lock.

Unless you want your bike to be concourse/perfect then it's cheaper and a lot less hassle just to buy the correct keys.

Good luck!
