Re: [ST] Preventing key damage

[Jan and Don Draper <ddraper@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I bought one of those triangular leather Triumph 
keychains and put a square of black Velcro loop 
on the back of the leather keychain fob and a square 
of Velcro hook in the middle of the triple clamp.

It works great.  It's a cinch to use and no distracting 
keychain fob flipping around.

| I discovered an easy way to prevent any extra keys on your keyring from
| marking the the surface of the powdercoat while the key is in the ignition.
| 
| I use a short piece of shrink tubing to create a custom-fitted (and
| re-usable) cover for each key other than the ignition key.  I only keep one
| extra key, namely the pannier key, on a ring with the igntion key, but I
| found that it was beginning to mar the powdercoat as it bounced around.  Now
| I sometimes see an occasional black mark from the shrink tubing, but it
| cleans off easily.
| 
| Now that I think of it I guess I could have chosen a better colour shrink
| tubing (like clear, for instance) that wouldn't leave any marks at all.
| 
| Anyway, it works for me.
