I just realized that the key that I got with my '74 R90/6 doesn't turn the lock. Are key codes available?

If you use Google, then you won't have to wait for an answer. Try "bmw motorcycles key code" and see what happens.

After all, we here at Boxerworks just hate it when people ask us things about the motorcycles we enjoy, and we might in some way be of some help in answering their questions. And we also just hate it when our own knowledge might be expanded in the process. And then worst of all there's the social fellowship that we have to endure in the process.

Perhaps we need a FAQ stickie. It can have just one statement on it:

"Google it and leave us alone to look at boobies."

So is anyone going to answer the poor guy's question? I would if I knew the answer. I guess I could Google it...

You guys know Duane was just being obtuse, knowing full well what would happen if the OP followed his direction.
