    This is your easiest way to seem stock and still get the functionality you want. Just have to keep a penny on you or just pick up a rock that will fit in the slot and let you rotate the assembly.

    The assemble is not hare to take the guts out but it does require the original key to turn it half way between positions so that you can pull it out to take the locks out.

    All you do is leave the last lock in place so it keeps the tumbler in place.

      My DR 450 has no key. Just a little rocker switch somewhere near the steering head. No one has stolen it yet. Probably because it's covered with mud.

        Convert the kill switch to operate a relay which powers up the bike.

          Not to rag on the OP, but am I the only one who gets a chuckle out of the fact that someone has the responsibility, maturity, skill, and desire to ride a two wheel "death" machine but can't handle keys? How a grown person can get away with rarely carrying even a house key is beyond me.

            Those of us who have no need for locking our doors have no need to carry keys as well.

              I don't carry house keys either. Some of the bikes require keys, what a pain in the ass.

                I have not carried a house key for years, either. However, if the power goes out, the garage door won't go up and I am locked out.

                All of my bikes require keys. My 850GK even requires THREE , but it's my choice, so I can't complain.
                Most of the others are all on one key each.

                  One of the selling features to me of my 1982 GS750EZ is that it had both original keys. Cause they say "SUZUKI" on them with the molded plastic.

                    Hey, Detorn, ...

                    How do you plan on opening your fuel tank without a key?

                    This question came from my son, "Ratbagger".

                          ha. the rare good point, you know I hadn't thought about that at all . seat release would be an issue too.

                          guess I'll start another thread about how to reset the tumblers so I can at least get down to one key.

                            Glad I could bring a bit of reason to the conversation. All part of my effort to become a highly effective lurker.
