no keys!!!

[xs400neophite]

Sooooo...the Bike I traded house painting for has no keys!!! My friend looked all over and cant find the keys for the '79 xs400 I traded manual labor on his house for. Seems in 1983 when he parked the bike, he hung the keys on the key hanger thing and there they sat for many a year,but....somehow now...he cant find them!!! Bugger!! Can I just get the code off the ignition/key switch and get some keys made?!! ....or do I need to unplug the ignition/key switch and take it to a locksmith?

Yea, the code should do fine for any locksmith worth his career. =)

If that fails, you an buy a new or used ignition switch with keys.
