How about a black dome with a small blinky red LED in it.  Just epoxy it to the top of a cutoff key!

I think I've seen "frame tubes" that mount to the bike then put key in and screw cap on, also I think there are license plate frames that you can put your registration papers and maybe a key in but you might need a key for those so that doesn't really help. My old bike I had set up seat pins that replaced the screws that held the seat in place, I had a spare duct taped under the seat. Luckily the only time I needed it was when I traded the bike in for my Vision, gave it to the dealer. Good luck in your search for the perfect hiding spot !

paint the silver part of the key black and you can use a piece of scotch tape to put the key in a lot of places. It will be nearly impossible to see and most thieves will not take the time give a second look when looking for valuables. I.E put the key inside your lower case and tape it to the upper portion of it. Can not be seen unless you are looking for it. You can do the same thing with a piece of black weather stripping and double sided tape. Place the key inside the hollow part of the weather stripping and use the double sided tape to place the weather stripping some place obvious like inside your trunk or down by the battery. Just some food for thought.

I simply put one under my front windshield cowling. Virtually NO ONE knows how to pop it off AND if they do, they still have to find it! <grin> I was riding with a buddy on his BMW and when we parked he said: "oh sh*t." I said what happened, "I just locked my key in my saddle bag. Needless to say he had AAA but it took them 1 1/2 hours to get to him. Spare keys are a must in my book.

There is a place you could stick one of those magnetic holders on the inside of the rear cylinder head brackets. If you have the chrome cover piece, you would not see the key holder in there. It's one of the few pieces that is actually steel on these bikes.

You could tape it to inside of the cheese wedge, that's not where I have mine stashed. But it's one of many places.

It's hard to lose this key, and it makes for a great conversation piece.

Witch doctors sells this that sort of hides the ignition when the key is left in it.

I have never carried a spare key but it is not a bad idea. Last year a buddy at work had his key vibrate out of his 71 harley fx super glide while going 85 MPH somewhere in Alabama. I realize that vision keys can not just fall out due to location and gravity but my hammer has the ignition on the side. My buddy spent four hours looking for that key along with the 7 buddies he was with. He ended up getting a farmer to give him some tools and a piece of wire. He bypassed the ignition and made it start by holding hot wires together. He ended up buying a used ignition with keys from a bike parts place later in the trip near the Texas border. They spent a day making the repairs.
