I just finished installing my easy brackets (which in case you ever had any doubts are an amazingly stupendous product) and added their key to my Triumph branded keyring. Upon doing this it brings my total number of motorcycle related keys on my ring to 8.

*Ignition
*Steering Lock
*Helmet lock
*Easy Brackets
*Retractable cable lock
*Masterlock(for the chain wrapped around the pillar in my carport)
*Bike lock (for the lock I use to attach my bike to above mentioned chain at night)

That is more than all the keys for my other 3 cars and my aparment combined! I'm thinking about investing in a jailers ring for all these keys!

Can anyone beat this number?

Because I don't have a locked garage, I can't find an insurance company that will give me comprehensive insurance so I'm SOL if the thing gets stolen so I had to run a chain around the post of my carport and then I have a bike bike lock that I run through one of the holes in the disk through the wheel and to the chain.

I leave the key in my bikes. Even whren they are not in the garage. On the BA I have the Arlen Ness key cover, so it looks like a bolt cover and anyone who does not know where the key is..

Oh yeah, forgot my Grifter box "secret compartment" key - I forgot to list it above (as there are only 7 keys listed above, that makes the 8.

Ignition, steering lock, disk lock, saddlebags, bicycle cable lock (for locking helmets to bike), trailer, garage door, alarm fob... plus keys for home & work.

However I have two keyrings, one with just ignition & alarm fob and the other with the rest that lives in the "tank belt" pocket when I'm riding.

Matt, I'm planning on following your lead and putting all but the ignition on a separate ring.

No. I have two. Ignition and the fork lock which I used once to see if it worked. Is Harry Hodini your neighbor or what? Your penchant for super security seems a tad over the edge. Is there still time to ride once you get it unlocked. I'm just bustin' your chops - please don't take offense

I haven't heard of this. What country are you in? When I got my online quote from Progressive, I don't remember them asking me if if the bike was kept in a locked garage.

Btw, I only have the ignition key on my Triumph fob. I keep all my other keys in my pocket. Looks cleaner and I don't have to worry about the other keys flopping around and scratching up something.
