Keychain Ring?

[mlindsay]

This is kind of stupid .... but .... the default keyring on the Rocket 3 is really flimsy and weak. The keyfob itself is terrible for keychain attachment. My daughter gave me a really cool Boeing/NASA "Remove Before Flight" red pull handle to go on the keychain. I want something stout, but that can still fit THROUGH the keyfob. Anyone seen or done anything like that? The "stout" ring I put through it, doesn't even rotate, and won't go all the way through

Not a dumb question. I didn't know that's what the two holes were for because I didn't know they were there (I know, I heard it). Maybe utilize a smaller ring after you pre attached the pull handle. If that's what the hole space is for why didn't Triumph put a ring on? The fob does have a cool switch blade kind of thing going on when you get really bored.

Mine came with a really crappy wire ring from the dealer!

Parachute cord... thread it through... tie it off... melt the ends...

LOL! The one I got was SO awesome, I threw it away

So I ended up getting a braided wire keyrings off Amazon. I had to take the back cover off the fob, unscrew the mainboard, and pry it up, propping a guitar pick under it to hold it up, while I tucked the braid in.

P.S. Typical Amazon, I wanted one for $5, but got fifty. Gave the rest to my local Triumph dealer. If you're near Beaverton, Orygun, stop by and visit Cascade Moto Classics and ask for one

did it fit through that tiny hole on the key fob?

huh, I thought I posted a pic. Guess not! Anyways, instructions I said above. And now my keyring is all nice and loose and floppy, doesn't bind at all.
