Title: Had any experience with this company?
Post by: Guzzistajohn on July 29, 2021, 08:10:51 AM: They have a re-pop of the Tonti style key "knob" that looks interesting.

I have one for the CX but the LMIII is knob-less. I'd like to have 3, but that's a pretty good chunk to lay out.

Post by: erich on August 18, 2021, 07:17:02 AM: I bought one blank, because I got only one key with the G5. Easy transaction, I wrote Keith via the website contact form and got a quote by email. Paid via Paypal. 51 GBP incl. shipping to Austria.

Post by: berniebee on August 18, 2021, 08:15:47 AM: I'm just wondering if the black plastic cap would interfere with placing the new blank key on a modern key grinding machine? On those machines, aren't keys usually clamped at the head of the key?

Post by: Stevex on August 18, 2021, 10:27:52 AM: Saw an ad for them in the Moto Guzzi Club GB mag, but at £42 each I'll pass.
Hard to see how they justify such a price.

You take the hinge pin out. I was going to carve one of the buttons out of wood or aluminum years ago but never did. Now think they could be made with a printer but I’ve no experience with that.
