Take the ignition switch off of the bike and take it to a good locksmith and they should be able to make you a key.  Once you get it, make sure that it also works in the gas cap before riding anywhere.

Thanks Hadn't thought of that!!  Unfortunately my Tank key is different from the ignition key. Don't know why that is.  Never made sense to me.   :dunno2

HMMMM?? is it possible to do that in reverse?  In otherwords turn my gas cap keys (I have 2) into ignition keys by doing this to the ignition core?

I've never messed with taking ignition switches apart.

You can get to the switch wiring under the tank and replace it. Either with a switch from ebay, or an aftermarket one.
