I've 'inherited' a 1985 Kawasaki 454LTD that has been parked since at least 2008. Bike didn't come with keys and the fork is locked. Is there any way to unlock it or get new keys made? I called a couple of Kawasaki dealers and they were clueless on the older stuff.

You know it's bad when your car is on the EPA's 10 most wanted list!
Usually there are letters or numbers stamped into the locks (or sometimes beneath the locks). You can use these to either purchase precut keys (tons on eBay), or have an old school locksmith (sometimes old dealers, too) cut you new ones. The most common way to get the code is off the helmet lock. You can usually get to that and remove it, exposing the code there. If there's still no code, you can take the helmet lock to a locksmith to have a key made by reverse engineering. This is usually more expensive, as it can be time consuming.
I know this all applies to Hondas for sure, but I imagine the other big makes of the day followed suit.

I was gonna say there should be a number on the key.
