The October 2012 issue of Airmail, the monthly Airheads Beemer Club magazine, has an ad for MotoKeys. http://motokeys.com/
They offer "...keys to fit Airheads: OEM BMW folders, Neiman/GKS, brass or steel."
The Motokeys website also provides a technical drawing of each key so you can put your vernier caliper to work and confirm the correct size prior to ordering. That's a really nice feature, IMO.
Motokeys also has key blanks for later model BMW motorcycles and offers to cut Airhead keys by code.
I need to order a couple to cut as spares for two of my Airheads.It's kinda scary having only one key.

Monte, I've gotten keys made for my airheads and guzzi, by a local locksmith not Home Depot, or Lowes, they had both key blanks in stock .

I'm sure that would work with an OEM key but my new R100S has a hand-whittled key that is something only its mother could love. Plus, I want another "folder" for the '83 R65.
Guess I could buy the Motokeys blank for the R100S and take it to a locksmith along with the "chop job" key. Might work.

I got some folding blanks from Justin. Stainless steel. Yeah. Not every locksmith can cut steel keys. Call first.

Not bad. I may get another folder.
He has quite an assortment of keys. I wonder if the guy can get keys for krauser and/or denfeld bags? I hear a lot of guys are looking for those keys.

His web site states they can source other key blanks. Give him a call and report back. Inquiring minds and all that...
