Key Mod: Mr. Horsepower Antenna Ball

I decided to do a key mod for my Honda Met. I bought a Mr. Horsepower antenna ball from Amazon for about $10 after shipping.

I removed the plastic flames from the back and was able to split the plastic at it's seams on the rear feathers. There were two pegs in the back holding it together. I removed the plastic from the original key and cut two grooves in the key metal. I lined up those grooves the the pegs in the antenna ball and siliconed it in.

I found a ball link keychain that was the perfect size to shove in the hole where the antenna usually goes. The chain holds pretty tight but can be removed if needed. My other keys (house, bike lock, mailbox) can hang from the antenna ball or I can shove the keys in my pocket and the scooter key can hang out.

I like the Snap-On / Craftsman key mods but I wanted to do something different that was more in theme with my scooter. A little more old school rat rod.

A Big Ruckus in Iron City

As seen on a ciy street in Pittsburgh.

Scooters are hugely practical in cities, even cities where it gets cold, and Honda's Big Ruckus scooter is a personal favorite of mine. The fact that there are scooters there makes me think that Pittsburgh is probably an OK city after all.

Not wild about that seat cover tho' ;)
