Nice key, I've seen some up for sale on e-bay. A key is a key is a key, I would think anyways...

I have two of those for my Electra (barrel style) and my girl has that pictured style key for her Sporty. I've had mine for about two years now. Heavier than standard key and pretty tough in my opinion. No complaints about them.

I dunno about the straight key, but the barrel key is A PIECE OF CRAP. I've had two of them break at the cut end. Not sure if the wall is thinner, or the material it's made from is weaker, but for that price, it should be better. Went back to the 16 year-old stock key.

Well, Old Mike has one of my old ones. I've used Bob Dobbs on various forums over the years.
Hey Mike, you know where Bob Dobbs got his start!? His pipe and smile were the work of the church of the sub-genius. Originally an Arky, the guy started this church when his wife got a job in Texas and he couldn't/didn't find work.

Oops, did I just steal this thread.

I would like to have one of the barrel versions of this key if it weren't quite so expensive. One of these days! (-:

I got a barrel version for my birthday last year. It's the only key I use now.
