Creating a dedicated key for the storage compartment

[ljurgens]

I know this is an old thread, but is the HD109 key blank the correct one for the 21-24 model year bikes? Anyone make one of these lately?

HD109 only works through 2020.

Pre 2021 they used a toothed key. 21 and up they use what they call a wave key.

Oh, well yes, they do. Looks like I'll have to do some more research then.

Thank you.

dduelin is right...There is no ilco blank that I know of for the wave keys with a groove in the center. They make wave key blanks without the groove. You'll have to get a O.E. Honda key blank and have it cut, and epoxy it into the radio knob or aerosol lid

The members here introduced me to this site. I ordered my blank and paid for it to be laser cut to my key code. Works great and has been my dedicated frunk key.

No not cheap at all.

You also have 2 options on cutting your blank to length..cut it short, it will hug the frunk but the key can't be used in the ignition to start the bike

leave it long enough, and it sticks up a bit in the frunk lock but can be used as a spare ignition key

You can glue a little cap on it-like from a hair products spray can and just leave it in there --just looks like a random knob

Is the cut to shorten it from the tip of key?

 

[ljurgens]

Oh nevermind cutting the head down to fit flush into the cap used

Get them for pennies from the Chinese site, "Fast Arab".

These later keys are laser cut so your normal store will not be able to cut them.

Great job Dave! I found that the cover will open at certain speeds, conditions. You saved me some time!
Thanks!

I just use a short bungee attached at one end to the handlebar as a preventer. It works well if the compartment is a little over full.

Made this mod today, and yeah - it’s kinda useful.

Then I realized I have always used the ignition key to open my gas tank… on any of my prior bikes… never ever thought about doing this with a spare before. But then, never had the frunk either

Found these blanks for 21 model year forward, on AliExpress for $1.16 each, so for $6.89 shipped I have 2 red blanks.

I took them to a local locksmith who cut them for me for $25 each, so for $56.89 I've got 2 extra keys now for the bike, both open the frunk and start the bike.
I can cut down one of them for my frunk fob, I bought the Goldwing radio knob to use as the knob part.
