The short answer is "kind of". Fits well enough to make the 2 hour ride to the trail. Take your key out first- or you'll snap yours off in the ignition like I did...
Bars/mirrors had to come off. It was either this or ride an hour to my buddy's place (he's got a trailer) tomorrow at 6am... Seeing as it was 38 degrees this morning and its not getting any warmer I thought this was a good option!
It was a great option! Seriously... I've done something similar with my van, although the door shuts when the bike is in it.
SWEET And just think, if you ever need a quick escape you can pull a James Bond and leap out of your moving vehicle....kinda....
So does the key still turn the ignition on? If the first portion is still in the tumbler... my thoughts are you have enough to turn it on to start the bike, then remove the broken key (like stealth mode)?
That's awesome! Reminds me of seeing a brand new KDX in a beat up WV Vanagon. I think the two guys went in together to purchase the bike.
Made it 135mi each way- (in the element) just got home from an awesome day of riding. I'm gonna post on it since I learned a few things over the course of 100 miles (of all dirt!!) And yeah, key worked- well, pretty much... I didn't try starting it till I got to the trails... Took some fiddling around but yeah, it started. Went to get gas and a trail sticker- realized that half of a key doesn't work in the gas cap. What a dummy. Luckily my past life as a lock-pick (not really) paid off an somehow I got it to open using a paper clip, screwdriver and needle nose pliers...
Won't fit in a Fit. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-r5qTnoWUf...Fcw/lX84HqOJNbk/s1600/honda_fit_rear_view.jpg
The Huskys are not chipped. Thank god they did not go with the canbus with the immobilizer crap. To my knowledge, unless something happened with the 2012-13's, none of the bmw singles are chipped either.
I've got the spare key- no worries! I just need to figure out how to get the chunk out of the ignition. I'll figure something. Then I'm welding it back together and using it! As a spare...
