I need a new key for my 91 K100. Is this a dealer only key? I went to Ace hardware and they didn't have a blank that was even close.
The key that came with my bike is missing the whole top part for turning the ignition. I have to use a key ring to even start her up. I just tried calling Victory BMW here in AZ and found out they are closed today. Keys dealer only?

Ilco makes two key blanks that will work. Go to a LOCKSMITH and they should have it. (Or call them before you go there.) Either an Ilco Y61 or a SR6IN. The latter is better as it's shorter and closer to the BMW key length. It should cost about $6 for the key and cutting.

If you get a Nieman flat blank or the BMW folding key from your dealer/fleabay, then most locksmiths will charge you $6 or so just to cut it - because it's a steel key.

And don't trust rubes at hardware stores to cut keys. Locksmiths actually know what they're doing. (or should)
