    Hope to help...Ask a Motorcycle Locksmith

    Hello, my name is Kristopher. I am a Denver native and a locksmith with over 8 years experience. I have always enjoyed working on bikes, trikes and even scooters. Whether someone lost their keys or broke a key off in the ignition, motorcycles are a unique challenge among locksmiths, which is why MANY locksmiths do not do motorcycle work. Too many variables, too little information. Experience is the key.

    Anyway, let me know if you have any questions on motorcycle locks or motorcycle keys. There are some unscrupulous locksmiths out there charging upwards of $300 for new motorcycle keys....most motorcycle keys can be replaced for about $80.

    One tip: I DO NOT RECOMMEND USING GRAPHITE. The problem with graphite is the amount. If you use the correct amount it is great stuff, however, use too much (which EVERYONE DOES) and you make things WORSE. The amount you should use should be applied with a graphite gun and is such a small amount, it should not be visible AT ALL when applied correctly. I DO RECOMMEND USING Tri-Flow for lubricating locks on your bike instead.

    Let me know if I can help....
