Good evening Dave

Please excuse my ignorance, but what is a "no 211 ignition switch"?

I picked up a switch with a box of GT550 spares a few weeks back if that is of any use to you. Some photos should b e attached.

Let me know either way.

Regards.

If you're not worried about the Suzuki stamp on the key, a local master locksmith should be able to cut one if you give him the barrel (that's what I did). Alternatively, your local dealer can source one if you give them the number.

I think that Silca make most of the replacement keys.

Apologies if you knew all of this already!!

Mike Yeadon has done key matching in the past (so that all locks on a bike will open with one key.)
Might be worth an inquiry, as he's retired now and might be fed up of going on holiday and polishing his bikes.
