Steering lock differences

[McCabe-Thiele (Ted)]

In all my years of Motorcycling tbh I hardly ever used a steering lock then on my 250 Dream it was seized solid from lack of use when I tried to lock it!

I always use mine, just a habit I picked up.

My 500, No 36, was knicked and pushed away after breaking the Honda steering lock then torched cos they couldnt start it

The fact is though Bryan is that without the steering lock they could just push it away to work on starting it very easily and without any drama, breaking a steering lock is noisy and attracts attention and most times that's enough to put them off.

It's not foolproof but it is a deterrent. Every little helps, so they say.

Just found this which may be of interest, you can see the lock pin.

Most likely will fit the Cb550, but you'd need to check dimensions. Good price for a genuine Honda lock with 2 keys IMO.

That clearly wont fit between the spokes or thread through the links on my chain for the front wheel Ken........

Then you're not trying hard enough Roo.
