What is it?

Post by Papillon »



I just bought a 2008 GL 1800 trike. This came on the key chain. Can anyone tell me what it is. Image

Looks like an aftermarket wheel lock key.

I've Never have had a trike so this is only a guess, key for rear lower trunk lock?

Thought of that also, but that's not for the trunk.
I'll check the wheels when the temp gets below 100 degrees in my garage.

No way the pins on that would torque a wheel nut, and there's also no way to get a wrench on it.

What you have there is the key for a Bushtec hitch lock.

Do you live in San Antonio and use to have a Cambridge Blue 1500?
It ain't the destination but the getting there. You are not lost until you run out of gas.
