Well doesn't put all other mods to shame but I came up with this one on my own. My keys were scratching the paint off my handlebar and jingling while I rode. They would also wedge themselves underneath my bar making them a PITA to take outta the bike. So here is my mod to stop all that. :2guns:

Reminds me of your old BMX bike when you were younger that had all of the foam padding wrapped around the frame. Not sure how I feel about this one, though.

My keys were scratching up the top of my triples, so I keep the bike key and my other keys separate now.
I had the same problem and had to buy one of the ugly fake C/F triple tree covers to hide it.The only drawback to keeping the key seperate is I find I constantly leave it in the ignition or the tail.
my jacket has a little key fob built in. I leave the key seperate from my collection.
so sense in scratching the GS, ...and....no sense in this mod....IMO o'course.

lol Damn. Rough crowd! :flipoff: Yea maybe I'll keep my key on my jacket.
Good ol enduro influenced mod. Me hates the key buz, so I just use my leather Wileyco fob now. Thanks Wileyco!
Not bad, but it doesn't help when the keys get lodged in between the guages and the top plate. The top plate is still gonna get scratched up too, unfortunately.
But hey...it's the thought that counts.........right? :laugh:

Actually, I had this problem too.
So I took some foam padding and zip tied it around each one of my keys. The only draw back is that it looks like I've got a massive boner when I put the key ring in my front pocket. But that's just how I roll.
i just replaced ignition with a toggle switch.

That's an interesting idea. Did you happen to do a write up?

I bought a quick disconnect key thingamabob from ACE Hardware for like $2
one key and a little rubber key chain does the trick,most people have several unneeded keys on key chain any way,but good mod any ways,its having a need and solving the problem. :)
so were is it that you live, should make for an easy steal
I had that problem too, I believe my mod bests yours because it also changes how the bike drives and completly removes the bar from the center.
