1969 Honda Dax 70 – A Classic That Still Turns Heads
The 1969 Honda Dax 70 (ST70) is one of the most recognizable minibikes ever produced. Known for its distinctive pressed-steel “T-bone” frame and reliable 72cc four-stroke engine, the Dax quickly became a favorite among collectors and vintage motorcycle enthusiasts.
Over 50 years later, these bikes are still on the road — and one of the most common restoration challenges is finding the correct ignition key.
If your key code is H1012, here’s what you need to know.
Understanding Honda H-Series Key Codes
Honda used several key series in the 1960s and 1970s, including the popular H-series and T-series.
The code H1012 refers to a specific cut pattern (also called “bitting”) within the Honda H-series range.
However, here’s where many owners run into trouble:
The Key Code Alone Is Not Always Enough
Even though your ignition may be stamped H1012, Honda produced multiple physical key blank variations within the H-series, including:
- Single groove profile
- Double groove profile
- Double groove with ward/notch variation
That means two keys can both be “H1012” — but only one will physically fit your ignition.
This is why ordering random “pre-cut Honda H1012 keys” online often leads to frustration.
