Any locksmith shop worth a s***.
I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.

Yeah - an oldtimer locksmith at Ace H/W made one like that for my Yamaha. Said he knew he had no blanks like the orig, but homed right to a car (Subaru?) that fit, but was large like yours.

yobomba - If you want the real Honda baby key, dealers can order the blank. Lot of them can cut keys too, but if not maybe your locksmith can do it.

My local "True Value" hardware store carries blanks for both Honda and Yamaha motorcycles.

Might be worth calling up some of your local hardware (not big box) stores or locksmiths to see if they carry the Honda M/C blanks.
