    So, like a pleb i lost my keys the other week in London, inc Car and Blade....

    No problem, i'll get new ones cut / copied from the spares I have. Car not an issue, but cant find the Honda one anywhere!!!! bollox.... :mad:

    obviously i'll have to have a proper look round (it must be somewhere) but if lost need to look at the options. Obviously it's a track bike and want to do a bit of racing so think the ignition has to be removed anyway - Jase/Robin/Wedge??

    Phoned dealer and your looking at a grand for new ECU etc which is a drama, dont want to go this route to then have strip it off - get me?

    Other option i've seen from looking round is a HRC ECU and Wiring Harness, again £900 which yes i will get some benefit, but i would rather spend that on suspension upgrade for next year....

    so whats going to be the cheapest and easiest way to get my bike running if i dont find my spare key!?!?!?!?!

    thanks in advance.

    In a strange twist of events - spurred on by navvy's kind words and staring down the barrel of doom and a thousand pound unwanted bill.... I called twickers once more in an act of desperation!!!!

    They have them!!!! Woooo fcuking hoo!!!! In your face navvy ;)

    So what rear shock will help me spank navvy at snet!? Lol

    On a serious note, if I still need to work out what I have to do with the ignition. Lol

    I asked the question the other day on here about removing my ignition got this reply luckily I still have the key so unless the key turns up sorry mate could be a dear one.

    hiss is the honda security system, you can only remove it by using a HRC loom or getting the loom rebuild and using a HRC ECU, otherwise no way of removing it.. what people sometimes do is take the chip of the key and place it in the HISS ring and relocate it somewhere... remove barrel and reconnect a start switch instead of the key....

    Can't see what the panic was Jimbo, I have a spare key to my Blade I am not using at present, you were welcome to borrow that until you sorted something out..........

    Do you know roughly what times you've done before? For me Sub 2:05 is blistering pace unless you are on a track bike!! Obviously you will be and I will be on my mere road bike...... ;)
