550 with no keys

[okenshield]

Hi, I just bought a 550 78 from America but came with no keys. Has no id on barrel or seat lock. Do I need to buy new barrel, seat lock and tank lock? Can one be made? I'm based in St Helens but don't know of any locksmiths that will do it - any advice greatly appreciated

If the locks are like the 400f you have to remove them to see the lock number. There should be a number on there.

If no luck try Arun locks, he made me a key after I sent him the lock. Very helpful guy.

Welcome to the forum - I'm only down the road from you in Wigan
There should be numbers on the barrel of the locks - I had same issue with my 500k2 American import from DK. I messaged this guy on ebay to check if he could cut a set (which he could - try him

Just to add you wont get a steering lock key(its different) but they are easy to drill out and replace plus the tank lock any key fits as there are no tumblers in it

thanks for the replies. I removed the the barrel from the bike but no visible numbers. I will try the Arun locks guy - thanks.

I had difficulty finding a number on the ignition barrel but it was clear on seat and steering lock

I had a look on there and couldn't find anything. I even took the seat lock off to get a better look but nothing.
