So got my 1964 CB77 cleaned up, got a new battery in and charged and... WHERE'S THE KEY?

Ugh. Do I have any alternive besides replacing the main switch? Any leads in where to find one of those?

So frustrated.

Does the ignition have numbers on it? You can get a key if you have the numbers.

I'm pretty sure there weren't many different lock cylinders back then, so a search on ebay should be all you need to get a key.

Yes, it does have numbers on it and low and beyond I found a key online that supposedly matches. As I mentioned in a previous post, I find this too good to be true but I'll be purchasing that key and trying it out.

Fingers crossed!

I ran into the exact same problem with my 67' CB77. In my case the ignition number was T1644 and I found the key via this ad. He has over 1000 keys for vintage honda bikes. Check for your number on his posting.
But if you found the key number online I'm sure it would work or maybe I was just lucky in my case.

This is something a locksmith can deal with as well.

If the numbers match, the key will work...

Just a quick update: I ordered 3 new keys on eBay (can't be too safe) and none of them work. At this point I'm not sure if they keys were cut incorrectly or if there's an issue with my switch (assuming the former for now). Currently looking to source some older keys...

The search continues :/
