Or you could just take the ignition switch to a locksmith who can read the code on the long cylinder part of the switch to make a new key. You can see the code at 1:02 of this video.

Great Egret yes correct but it's the older key code system (changed in 83) that not every locksmith has and...it's cool to learn how to make it right? Thanks for watching!

Tepco Cycle Repair Too true about doing it yourself. I'll admit I enjoyed watching you do it. My GL500 is is rougher shape than yours and it's going to be fun to watch your progress.

Well that’s cool you show how to do it. And that it can be done. I’ll think I’ll go with the code method. I saw a service online where you can send them the code. If you can’t find a locksmith in your area to do it. But it’s awesome knowing that someone can just do it themselves
