Luggage Keys

I made luggage keys like these years ago for my ST1300. They allow easy access to your luggage with needing to use your ignition key. They are short enough so they can’t be removed and used to start the bike. To secure your luggage just remove them and place them in the locking left hand dash pocket.

I had some extra keys made and bought the knobs shown at Radio Shack.

Cut the keys down to allow them to project out just enough to operate the luggage locks.

I ended up cutting a nail into a couple of pieces to make shims to center the keys once the set screws are set.

Mix a little JB Weld and pack it into the gaps around the keys.

All done!

The finished product!
