Theres a few places in the UK where you just tell them the Yamaha/Suzuki/Honda lock number and approx year of the bike & theyll cut you a key from the blanks they have for all jap models..must be somewhere in the states that does that? www.motorcyclekeys.com/

If you know the 4 digit lock number, there is a seller on ebay that has nos keys for some. Looked at the numbers on my locks on my bike and matched it up to one he has in a list. Ordered it and it came and works perfectly. Like 10-15 bucks shipped. Here's a link to one of his auctions.
