Title: Re: useless mods... Post by: c_rex on May 11, 2008, 09:46:03 AM Not even that great looking either. cheesy but titanium... if you're worried about snapping your key off this could be a could mitigation plan. Title: Re: useless mods... Post by: NAKID on May 11, 2008, 11:35:24 AM Except that it won't work in anything newer than 2001...
Title: Re: useless mods... Post by: Old-Duckman on May 11, 2008, 02:30:01 PM Yeah but they are "rare"!
Rare 'cause they made a small batch, no one bought any and now they have that small batch to try to unload and they know they won't have anymore made since it flopped. Marketing-speak...I hate it.

Post by: prudolph on May 11, 2008, 04:41:37 PM then call me a sucker, baby! it's totally about weight savings... hello..... well yea i guess that makes sense u need keys to start the bike.. unless you steal it . [laugh] Title: Re: useless mods... Post by: Monstermash on May 11, 2008, 07:38:05 PM It might be something neat to attach to your car's keys to use as a keychain.

Post by: mxwinky on May 12, 2008, 06:11:27 PM Oooh, oooh, oooh titanium! Yeah, um, I'll pass. When it gets down to the weight of the key holding me back I'll know I'm ready to take over Casey Stoner's seat on the GP team. Since that'll never happen I think I'll put the money toward something I can really use. Does anyone make toilet paper embossed with the logos of competing mc brands?
Title: Re: useless mods... Post by: zarn02 on May 12, 2008, 09:32:42 PM pricey for a key blank? yes.
largely pointless? yes. would i use it if someone gifted it to me? yes. i wouldn't buy it, but i don't hate it. *shrugs* Title: Re: useless mods... Post by: junior varsity on May 13, 2008, 06:35:48 AM I agree. I'd be semi-happy with it as a gift, stocking-stuffer, whatever.
Do I want to spend my money on it? Certainly not. Title: Re: useless mods... Post by: arai_speed on May 13, 2008, 07:20:06 AM Looks like rubbish to me.
Title: Re: useless mods... Post by: A.duc.H.duc. on May 13, 2008, 09:49:07 AM what does it take to cut that blank?
Title: Re: useless mods... Post by: ryandalling on May 13, 2008, 12:43:08 PM Works only on Non chipped bikes.... funny. I know the new superbikes do not use the red key... but they are still chipped keys.
Title: Re: useless mods... Post by: knightrider on May 13, 2008, 05:31:44 PM i dont think a titanium key would be a very good idea, keys are made from softer material so they are easier to cut, and also so they wear less on the tumblers inside the ignition, thats why after a while, your key looses its sharpness.

Title: Re: useless mods... Post by: Pancake81 on May 14, 2008, 02:08:06 PM Those have to be some of the ugliest keys I have ever seen [laugh] . Who would buy that... seriously.
Title: Re: useless mods... Post by: Sgt_H on May 14, 2008, 05:33:03 PM Reminds me of the Ducati thumb drive
Title: Re: useless mods... Post by: A.duc.H.duc. on May 15, 2008, 03:13:14 AM Reminds me of the Ducati thumb drive which might have been cool if it didn't cost 10x as much as the same drive without the ducati logo on it. Title: Re: useless mods... Post by: mitt on May 15, 2008, 06:14:57 AM [puke]
(I knew this smiley would come in handy) mitt Title: Re: useless mods... Post by: crash_duc on August 05, 2008, 10:11:29 AM My question is; If you bought it to use, and took it to a locksmith, what locksmith has a machine that can cut TITANIUM????? Looks like a slightly ugly key fob to me, but not much more.
