I have my bike's keys on a dedicated rings and then the rest of my keys on a seperate ring. In fact I have each vehicle's rings on dedicated rings. Makes it easy to switch rides. I also hate having lots of keys jingling and scratching while riding. With the Rebel having the key on the side it seems even more appropriate to do this.

Can't edit above post...
This is what I'll be using, though I contacted the seller/maker and had it made without the carabiner (didn't want an extra piece dangling/scratching things).

The ignition key is in the bike or in my pocket. No key rings or such.
I would advise you getting duplicates made and storing the originals with the title; this only applies to North American versions or other areas where HISS (Honda Ignition Security System) is not activated. If you are in an HISS area, the shop has to be involved, and they are more expensive, but it is still far better that the cost of all new stuff (I believe a new ECU is required; some poor Brit wound up paying ~ 400 pounds to get his bike re-keyed after losing his last key).

I did as you suggested and added a few spare keys.
I called the dealership, and was quoted a high prices for keys that did not have any built-in electronics (aka smart key).
- for the 2017 Honda Rebel CMX300 & another bike I have.
I am enclosing a picture of the key type/model number, where I purchased my recent set.
While they are not "fancy", they do work fine as inexpensive spares
You may be able to find a local locksmith that carries the same key model # of hd109.
Recommend that you write down your key code, to an email to yourself.
If you have that written down, you can have a spare created while on the road.
Cheers!

Are those keys made by a local locksmith or by the dealer?

Grey,
The keys were made by a local locksmith.

I once dropped my Silver Wing off to have a new tire installed at a small repair shop. I accidentally left without giving them the key. When I went back to give them the key they already had the new tire installed and told me "we just used your hidden key." I guess the special key hiding spot in the Silver Wing is pretty well known.

I have a house on a key ring alone
Then I have keys for each bike ignition and locking trunks on separate key rings, when I go for a ride I only have the bike I'm riding keys and a house key in my pocket
The car key has a house key on the ring, if I drive the car the single house key is left home

No need to be a dick, just move on.

I once did a mistake of carrying all the keys as i lost all in a rush. At that moment, only locksmith toronto was my only hope and they provided me the keys to get back home on the same day.

That's a great thing, don't use heavy keychain as it can cause problem to the ignition and it ended up stucking the key into the ignition. To take the key out, you need to call locksmith, so in order to save money try using light weight key chains.
