• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Key without a chip

Somewhere on the forum I came across the number for the blank - an ILCO X270, actually a X270 TMC1. It was also noted that this blank was for the Triumph motorcycles. Found a local locksmith in Ashland, OR who had 2 blanks labeled for Triumph bikes. He cut them both for me ($5 apiece) and then when I brought the Spyder over, he had to do some minor filing on the key part as well as grinding off the rectanglular part of the blank due to the collar around the keyhole to shape it similar to the real key. Both work perfectly to pop the frunk or seat. Now to find a suitable place to mount it. I figure duct tape someone under an accessible panel.
 
Where did you get it done? I tried Walmart but they didn't have the proper blank. I will look at other places now that I know it can be done.
Usually has to be done at a serious locksmith shop since most stores dont carry the right blank. I had one made at Ricks Lock & Key in Chattanooga for about $3. I keep it taped inside one of the removable side panels and a real key stored inside the rear trunk.
