When I bought my 2017 CB1100 in January, it came with only one key. I read the earlier forum from the member in Germany with the same issue. If I understand correctly, our USA bikes are just sidewinder keys, without any kind of chip or programming. Does anyone know how to get one made. I am not having any luck with key makers on Ebay, and before you laugh, they supplied me with 2 good blanks for my 2013 CB1100 for about $10. The hardware store in Sinton, Texas cut them for free! Good luck with that bike, I now have 3 keys, but not so with the EX.

Hi, thanks for the reply. When I bought the bike from a dealer no less, it came with only one key, no manual or key tag. Actually not much, except the bike, with 1200 miles only on it, I could not pass it up. I feel as this is going to be a challenge, but I do not like having only one key.
