Keys
Posted: Tue Dec 26, 2023 3:03 am
Team Triplers,
Decades ago, while working for a Kawasaki dealer, I was gifted a few hundred genuine NOS Kawasaki keys. I've been dribbling a few out to locals I know well, but now I'd like to offer them to enthusiasts worldwide.
The thing is, I'm quite security conscious, having had a Z1-B stolen when it was just 2 weeks old, and probably by someone who simply went and bought a key from a dealer.
Any thoughts on the best way to ensure anyone wanting to buy keys is a genuine buyer, and not some chancer who has spotted a key number on a bike they know of?
Triple related ... there aren't too many triple keys, Though, if you need a #685, this could be your lucky day!
Most keys, for those who may own the odd mid-late 70's Kawa's, are those with the black plastic 'head' on them, with nearly an equal amount of keys with the 'roughly' 25mm wide silver metal head. Numbers are in the 700 - 899 range. I can post sample photo's if that helps.
I feel comfortable with leaving that info with you blokes, but any ideas about selling (securely) to strangers??
Cheers,
Jeff in Aussie
