Sorry if I'm not all that up on the bike. I opened up the seat and in a plastic bag under there there are 3 key cylinders and I tried my key in them and confirmed yes I have 3 extra key cylinders that turn? what do I do with these?

I tried to fit them to my Givi bags, but the cylinders are too long. I'll be holding onto them, anyway, in case I ever do get bags that they will fit in.

Over on the FJR Forum, one member was able to mod their Givi lock to accept the factory Yamaha key.

Yes, I read that and he was the one that gave me the inspiration to rekey my Givi cylinders to use a common (Givi) key. So far I've set up 3 sets of Trekkers (mine and two other bikes) to match.

I'm hoping to modify my aftermarket luggage to use the factory key as well. If anyone has any lock cylinders they never plan on using, I would be interested in them. My aftermarket luggage has a lock for the lid, and a lock for the case to the bike. Thanks-
