Hidden Motorcycle Key - Hide your key in plain sight!

[@SmittyInVegas]

As a 40 year machinist/tool and die maker. I just want to say you did a great job on the video. So many people that I work with now don’t even know how to use a square, caliper, or even a tape measure.

For cheap and inexpensive security devices - Solder your horn to the main power wire and put a hidden toggle switch in series. If someone gets the power turned on - the horn will blow until they find the hidden switch. Time is your ally - not theirs. Soldering the wire on the horn prevents slipping a simple spade. I put a hidden toggle in series with my handlebar kill switch. If you don't find that switch you'll never start my bike.

[@Cornmolio]

Unfortunately, most if the time they just grab the bike and throw it on a trailer. My buddy’s bike just got stolen like that. But this would be good in combination with a chain locked to a post.

[@mixter7x7]

@@Cornmolio Yes- there are also disc locks that work well. However - as you said. If they want your bike - and they come equipped - they are taking your bike. I can steal nearly anything I want to take. Locks only slow me down a minute. I can go right through your locks. If I want your car / bike / boat etc - I can take it. The good news is - I’m not a thief and more likely I would return your wallet with the money still inside it just because it’s the right thing to do.

[@Cornmolio]

@@mixter7x7 The disc locks don’t lock your bike to a fixed object. Go look up videos of bikes getting stolen. A chain and lock that can’t be defeated by bolt cutters will cause most thieves to not bother going further. Angle grinder makes too much noise and most don’t have the finesse or the tools to defeat a good lock quietly. The disc lock won’t stop them from loading it on the dolly and driving away in seconds. Lock the bike to a sign post or something.

[@mixter7x7]

@@Cornmolio People are using recip saws to steal cat converters. Noise ? I can remove a cat converter in less than 60 seconds. I have a portable torch that will cut any lock or chain in less than 30 seconds with almost no sound at all. Again respectfully - If I want it - I'm going to take it. I don't want it because it's not mine. I didn't work for it . It wasn't given to me. It belongs to someone else. Maybe a tilt switch to set off a horn would be good. If you tilt the bike more than x degrees from it's kickstand angle - the horn will sound. That would require a protractor and some switching circuits.

[@Cornmolio]

@@mixter7x7 If you have an idea that’s one level up from chaining it to a fixed object, I’d love to hear it. Since you’re the expert. I’m saying a chain is one level up from a disc lock or ignition kill, because it requires attention before loading on a dolly. I guess an airtag would be the next thing up, but I’m talking more mechanical means to prevent theft rather than electronically finding it after the fact.

[@davidchereneimmel8820]

Also glad to see you know how to use the Loctight. So many people want to drown the fastener with it. But to much actually makes the hold weaker.

[@ClintL63]

I really dont know about the amount of locktite doin that, but I tink its O.K. that she used the blue; I have a REAL hard time with the red! I say Torch, drill and tap when folks use the red; I'm not sayin' you're wrong, but I have had my enough experience with the red, and I dont know how much they used; it would be cool to know how much they used on it; I know that petroleum products fk the bond up also, as they prevent the epoxy contact with metal

[@davidchereneimmel8820]

@@ClintL63 yes red can be a bugger for sure, they actually have a newer one that is orange it has the hold of red but no heat needed. I have used that a few times where red was required and has done real good and you can get it loose by hand without heat. The reason to much is not good is it has to be oxygen free in order to cure, and to much just doesn't cure the same and can actually migrate other areas. So less is more. They also have a newer one that can take petroleum residue and cure was well. I have no experience with that.

[@williamstamper442]

@@ClintL63 Red loctite is designed to use heat in order to break it loose. Heat the fastener or part with a torch then break it loose. Red loctite will come apart just fine with heat.

[@jwill9637]

Tip: To prevent the saw from binding while cutting, simply cut the metal at a slight angle. If you were to drop your hand a couple of inches in relation to the key held in the vice it will not only ease the binding but also make it easier to create a straighter line.

[@yveslegrand9826]

You are doing a great job ! Both video and the stuff you do are good. I built a similar system for my previous bike : looks fantastic for not a lot of work nor cost...

[@vegasheat71]

[@PappyfromtheKeys]

Have seen this many times and it works. Chrome plated drawer pulls come in many shapes and sizes as well and look great and are very unobtrusive looking as well. They just look like part of the bike!

[@ПетрПетров-с8э]

Great idea to hide the ignition lock from your eyes. But to be honest, I don’t like keys, so instead of an ignition switch, I just have a switch (toggle switch).

[@andrewyee7223]

I did this to…but my issue is opening the gas cap. Did you have a solution to that? I’m thinking about doing this the the gas cap and leaving it in the gas cap.

[@SaddleTrampTV]

That looks pretty slick. The only down would be that it wouldn't fit on a key ring and would be uncomfortable in my pocket. But however, looks pretty cool in the key switch.

[@rupe53]

I believe the point is to leave it in the ignition switch and few will notice it.

[@richs7362]

@@rupe53 But know the world knows what to look for after this video. Looks cool though.

[@savage22bolt32]

My key was in my pocket for a few hours when I attended a swap meet. When I was leaving, the key had bent in my pocket & couldn't slide into the switch. I flattened it out, and of course, it broke in two! Luckily, I won the coin toss, as I had a 50/50 chance of sliding in the 2 pieces (teeth on just one side of the key).

[@t.s.racing]

Angel, here's a tip. If Dad has fluid like used for tapping threads, use a small amount on both sides of the hacksaw blade for sawing steel. It will make life easier and the blades will last much longer. On non ferrous metals like aluminum you can just use WD-40. Cast Iron generally doesn't require anything. T.S. RACING

[@RedRiderCanadaBC]

Thanks!

[@savage22bolt32]

Absolutely true! You must be a machinist, or a smart mechanic. PS I use kerosene when cutting alum, but WD40 or similar is very convenient.

[@yveslegrand9826]

Yes WD40 is really doing wonders on hack saws

[@OHUQTU]

It is far more important to (only) push when using a hacksaw. Most blades are made to cut in only one direction, and dragging the blade toward you (with downward pressure) only serves to increase wear, and dull the cutting teeth of the blade.

Good video... As far a hating the saw ...make sure you have a good blade in the correct direction and start by drawing the blade towards you ...remember a hack saw only cuts in one direction going forward, add a little WD or lite oil take light cut till a groove starts and a light hand on the saw and maybe it will be more comfortable for you...good job👍

[@happygramper]

Something I learnt 40 years ago as a apprentice Toolmaker... always hacksaw on the right hand side of a vice, if a blade breaks your hand knuckles will smash into the vice if cutting on the left hand side of the vice, I learnt the hard way! Greetings from South Africa

When I started 'roaming' away from the folks place, my Pop taught me to carry a spare car and house door key in that little zippered pocket of my wallet, which is chained to my belt. Yeah, he had one before me. Can't remember how many times this brilliant idea opened the door I locked my keys on the other side of. But these new-fangled 🤬'barrel-keys' like the one for my '97 Roadking killed that idea! 🤬 My Silverado has that big plastic chip housing top on it, but I got a plain, non-chip key cut to open the door, and got that in my wallet too. And since I started carrying my key ring clipped onto the same heavy-duty leather belt loop and D-rind as my wallet chain, I've never lost a set of keys.

[@killer2600]

Your dad has taught you well. Keeping a spare key on my person has saved me a couple of times when I was an over the road truck driver. I've come across quite a few drivers that were never taught this and were locked out of their truck and trying to get back in when I met them.

[@Cornmolio]

I do two things. 1) I use two key rings on my keys. I’ve seen key rings break from the constant dangling and keys falling all over the road. 2) I go to a pet store and purchase a tiny dog tag with my name and number engraved on it. It’s always nice when you get a phone call that your keys or wallet have been found. Most people are good people.
