FYI for those looking for a non-chip key as a backup, I got one today and the locksmith immediately said, "oh, that is a Triumph key blank. It has number X270 on it, the brand is ILCO. Opens frunck and seat, doesn't start bike.

Hi pitzerwm,

Re: It has number X270 on it, the brand is ILCO.

Good info to know.

I just bought a similar blank from someone on here for $2.00 + a SASE. Took it up & had it cut for $1.00.

So for about 3 1/2 bucks I have a backup that will open the frunk & allow me to lift the seat.

Good deal IMO,

Jerry,
Are the leading edges on it beveled?
Make sure that it'll push down into the ignition switch without interference...
A 10" Flat Bastard file did the trick for me... 10 minutes of handwork, and it fit perfectly! :thumbup:

Hi Bob,

Re: So for about 3 1/2 bucks I have a backup that will open the frunk& allow me to lift the seat.

and: Are the leading edges on it beveled?

If you and I were to pass each other on the sidewalk, we would walk right past each other without notice. In other words, you don't know me & I don't know you.

I have spent a fair amount of time on some other forums and have watched people get into the craziest of 'urinating' contests over nothing.

That is why I try my best to parse my words before I post; and I always proof-read my posts before launching them.

Now, given that; yup, I made sure it would open the frunk & release the seat before I posted what I did.

Now, how about them apples? :yes:

PS) Just so no one misunderstands: I may complain about something regarding my Spyder or BRP but this is the most fun motorcycle I have ever owned. I just think it is a d*** shame that I live in a Winter state and she has to sit until Spring. :gaah:

PPS) I also make sure I never use any profanity on a forum; I use plenty of that in person. :sour:

It's never a bad idea; to keep an un-chipped dummy key in a handy place...
For that ONE time, that you decide to throw your jacket in the Frunk; after absent-mindedly stuffing your ignition key in a pocket! :shocked:

Agree & keep one in my wallet fyi.

:2thumbs: Just checking, Bro!
The first thing that I did; was see if it would turn in the ignition switch... I found out about the beveling of those edges at a later date... pps:

Get this key and leave the Bastards in the tool box!:joke:

 

[Bob Denman]

But I've gotten some of my best scars from those joyous events...

Seriously; what is that, and where do we get them? :thumbup:

 

[billybovine]

Look for the following manufacturers and part numbers.

Ilco: ZD24RDP-SI
JMA: TRP-1D or TRP1D
Orion: ZD36LDP
Silca: ZD24RDP

It fits so many motorcycles, scooters and mopeds to list.

Thanks! :thumbup:
It is certainly FAR more elegant-looking, than the X-270...

EDIT: I found them on EBay, and have ordered three of them. (Five bucks apiece...)
