Best key holder????? Need Ideas!!
I am looking to get a key holder for my Spyder key, as the leather one I have now seems to interfere with unlatching the frunk... Need input on what and where to get something....thanks in advance everyone!!!

I think the best key holder is the OEM key scabbard that comes with all Spyder keys. The Scabbard can either be mounted onto a key ring or simply be used to protect the key while out of the ignition and in a coat/pant packet. In my opinion, the Spyder ignition area is not a good location for a big key ring with a lot sorts of keys, gadgets, and toys. I think that it would also unnecessarily cause scratches to the panels and dash area.

Sorry I didn't see this thread sooner but FYI the one works best for me is Keyport IMG_4712.jpg. IMG_0854.jpg Holds what I need for everyday use & all is easily operated single handily. https://www.mykeyport.com/
Additional info: 2013 & prior chips can be cloned & Keyport offers the chip & placement needed
2014 & later require other chip functions that they know & you will need to talk with them for better description & requirements

key ring
The best I've found costs almost nothing.
put a small regular key ring and made a paracord laynard so I can feel it in my pocket. Works fine, nothing to scratch the paint.

I agree. I keep mine on a key ring by itself and keep it in my pocket.

I used this method for my last two bikes.

But I am going to try Pierre's and Dave's holders on the new bike, and see which one works the best!

Agree, just put the key on a ring.
-
That always worked for me in the past...
...But this time around: I'm open to trying something new.

I'm old school, and continue to use Lamont's IPS. I'm not sure he sells them anymore. I leave it right in the ignition; most people don't know what it is.

That pic. I'm referencing, whose key holder is that, and where might I find that hook and strap?

Same with me, and so far no problem with anyone even suspecting it's the ignition. Now, with that said, if I'm on a trip and staying in a hotel/motel, I take the key out at night.

I have a 2008GS. I don't think I remember that being a problem with the early spyders.

I'm curious. Do you say that b/c of how much metal is being used? If that's the case, Lamont's IPS had much more metal. I'm wondering if that's why he doesn't sell them anymore, unless I missed them on his site.

All the others are great but some are very costly
$$$$$$$$$ 39.95 is a bit much for some people
mine are $9.95
Ask those that have them they work great and do not
give you trouble when in the ignition the key will fully engage
Call me to get yours.

After all: it's not a permanent attachment.
If there's a hint of difficulties: it gets pulled, and I break out the drill!
