Did you try a locksmith?  I got copies made for Hepco Becker bags and both my Guzzis.   But my bikes are '98 and '01 respectively.

Did you try Ebay? Usually they have many, doesn't have a chip, nothing special.

I got ten a few years ago. I paid $1.35 each in qty 10. Now a little higher. If I was home I would send you one. I have used 5 or 6 with all the bikes I have had. I get them cut at ACE.

I used the same blank for a Jackal, EV11, V11 Sport, Breva 750, 2011 V7, Bassa, Cal Vin. The CARC's take a transponder key (useless tech).

Five places said "We cannot cut keys that are not purchased from us".  Three of them said that I had the wrong key blank.

I ended up with an 82 year-old locksmith that claims 46 years experience.  Cutting keys out the back of a ratted-out van full of everything, in a restaurant back alley - with jumper cables attached to an inverter, and key machine plugged into that.

"oh, you got the good keys" he says.  "that'll be five bucks".

Afterwards,  I bought him a cup of coffee and a slice of apple pie at that restaurant, and listened.  An interesting man, for sure.

And yes, the keys look (and function) perfect.

From "Got the wrong key's" to "Got the good ones" . That tells you alot about the industry.
