Where to get motorcycle key cut?

I ordered a blank key for a project I want to try on my bike. This anybody know where I can get the key cut? It doesn't necessarily have to work correctly it just needs to look similar to the standard key.

I was talking to our company auto mechanic, and he says he's not able to make motorcycle keys. I do have my key for the bike if that helps.

Use a file and cut it. Just like the lock smith.
 
Call 4 "locksmiths" in San Francisco, and tell me who can cut a motorcycle key from a blank they have in stock. These are independent mom and pop shops - most just do home or accessory keys. You show them the motorcycle key and they will refuse service. Key Kraft is the only one in SF, they've told me you not only need to carry a blank but have a machine that can cut it (most modern out of the box cutting machines cannot do this).

I got one made at Ace Hardware out on Clement, and another at JHW out in Lower Haight. (I have a Honda, though -- don't know if the automobile keys are the same size which would have made things exceedingly simple).
 
Rex Key on University Ave in Berkeley.

I know that they have Suzuki and Honda blanks in stock.
