Where can I get a key blank!

Yeah, the Kaw dealer can order it for $12.50 plus. but I'm too cheap to pay that plus have it cut.

My only key is pretty worn. No discernable numbers left, and Wally World doesn't have a match for the blank. So, I figgered I'd ask the all-knowing dudes here.

Bike is '80 KZ750 G1 LTD/2.

Well I used these guys a few months back to cut me a key from a code number and it cost me just under $20 including shipping. I would assume they could supply you with just a blank no problem but I'm not sure of the cost. www.key-men.com

I had a duplicate made at ACE Hardware last weekend. They had ILCO blanks and the kid matched it up to a 4 wheeler key. He cut it, and it worked the ignition. I had to file a bit off one part as it didn't work the seat lock,but it worked after that. For $2.50 I wasn't complaining.

Here are two links from the archives with more details regarding key blank numbers from Ace Hardware --

Well, Ace Hardware didn't have it, could order it for a slight charge .
Decided to just order a cut key from Key-men.com. Found the key code on the side of the seat lock cylinder. FYI, the 1980 KZ750 G1 proves once again to be the red-headed step-child of the Kawasaki line! Key codes for these bikes are "Z" with a number from 5000 to 8000.
The correct Ilco blank number is KA14/X103.
I learn something every day!

dennis kirk or chapparell one of then sells a new key ignition and keys for less than $15 i think its $10 actually. i bought one for my 77 kz650 when i first got it a year ago. i now have only a toggle switch. but i just told them what year/make/model and they knew what i needed
