Ok, so this one kind of crept up on me, but I realize I may have a problem. After putting on the accessories, I realize that there are too many keys for this bike.

1. ignition
2. fork lock
3. locking gas cap
4. quick release backrest
5. Easy Brackets for saddlebags


I was planning to add a helmet lock, but now I'm reconsidering

How many more thinks can I lock up on this bike? A lock for the windshield, a disc lock, a lock on the saddlebags...

Any other suggestions? I may be going OCD...

I recently complained about the same thing on the RAT Forum. My Kawi 1 key for ignition, fork lock, seat removal, gas cap, 2nd key for locking bags and a 3rd for GPS.

On the TBird I have the 5 you have, plus key for locking bags and GPS. Fortunately the same key for the backrest/rack fits the windshield lock...total 7.

Do Triumph do a 'bike mountable electronic keypad keysafe', if so - no keys to carry.

I came from a Yamaha V-Star and one key worked for the ignition, fork lock, helmet lock and gas cap - go figure... As an added bonus, the battery cover also had a lock which was accessible with the same key.

I had a second key for the removable saddlebag brackets, but that was it.

Did I mention that I HATE carrying around keys. Those little plastic barcoded tab things that every store in the known universe seem to have now drive me crazy!

ok, I'm done.
