Friends, I'm just getting to know my 82 R100RT. I noticed the small bike key (folded version) isnt really good attached to my usual key chain. Too bulky and heavy against the bike fairing. So I plan to use it with something bright and lightweight like a floating bobber type you see in marine applications. Anyway....that leads me to want to have a hidden spare key on the bike just in case. Considering the risk of it....does anyone have any suggestions for what they do in this regard?
Your thoughts please,

put key on backside of frame somewhere and a couple solid loops of black electrical tape. Unless you have a different color frame other than black... 🙂
Tape inside of side cover. At least I think that is where I put mine.
But I thought keestering was for "bikers" not us BMW airhead "motorcyclists"
Hah!

I keep a spare key on a small key ring attached to an inner zipper pull of my riding jacket.
I use these: KIDDE SAFETY 001844 Lock Magnet Key Case
It has a very strong magnet and a combo lock.
I just find a stealthy place and secure with a wire tie just in case.
I found a great spot to hide a spare key when I pulled off my side cover. One of the prior owners had slipped a key onto the pin that holds the rubber grommet which the side cover snaps onto. It was just about invisible even with the side cover removed....a great hiding place. Just pop off the grommet, slide the key on and replace the grommet. Simple.
