[lmadsen]

May sound like a unworthy question but I would like to know where syder riders keep their spare keys? I have a 2014 RTS.

I keep an unchipped "Dummy" in the glovebox, and pitch my "chipper" into the mess in the bottom of the top trunks for long trips... :thumbup:
Wait... :shocked: You're not going to look me and my bike up now; are you??? :roflblack: :joke:

I always carry a spare on my person. That has come in handy a couple times. :thumbup:

Hidden extra key

I also have a 2014 RT. After looking for a couple of days at the Spyder, I wanted the extra key to be available without actually breaking a latch or doing damage. The best location for me - remove your LH side panel, near the top is the headlight adjustment screw. Go back just a little ways and you'll see a small frame with two holes. I taped my key in electrician's tape to make it waterproof and tie-wrapped it to one of those frame holes. Now if I truly loose my main key, I can get to my spare without breaking anything and unless you know exactly where it is, no one will readily locate it.

I keep a full set of spare keys out of sight locked in the trunk. Spyder key, Givi key, alarm remote and helmet cable lock key. I have a hidden unchipped key in a easily accessible location hidden under the bodywork to open the trunk.

Here's what I do..!!

carry active one on a lanyard around the neck. A spare in my pants pocket. One tends to toss the coat into the frunk and presto no key...but zip tied to many places easy to get to...:thumbup:

Spare kept in inside pocket

I leave my normal used key on my key chain with it's fob.

No need yet for un chipped keys, I hope... ;-)

I don't know if I'd keep it in a saddlebag... :shocked:
If you lock up the rear of the bike (with the frunk still open...), it'd be possible to throw the "good" key in a jacket pocket, and pitch it into the frunk... :yikes:

+1 for the lanyard around my neck. I use the IPS and carry the other one on the lanyard, along with my trailer key and the key to the padlock for my cable I use to secure the trailer when I travel.

Bob,I have an RS,my saddlebags are soft add-on bags that zipper closed,I have locks on them(don't lock often but keep the key in zippered pocket so it is always acessable.

pps: Oops... pps:
RT mindset here... sorry!

I have a "hidden" pocket in the jacket where I keep the spare for the Givi bag and in the Givi I have another Spyder key taped to the bottom... covered in black electrical tape so it doesn't really show.

Always wearing my jacket, so will always have that spare Givi.
Never ride without my Givi's attached so will always have the spare Spyder key!
(And if anyone can figure all that out... they deserve it!)
