PatM:
Sadly this is covered in the above answers.
I reinstated my steering lock- just to keep oportunists at bay- and kids whom think it game to jump on your bike and waggle the steering yoke.

if you want to reinstate the lock- but one from a supplier and drill out the brass pin- you can clean it all out and instal the new barel. I pop-riveted a pop rivet and washer to retain it all- It doesnt shift and ive a selection of rivets, so i used one that was a good fit.

I could bemoan bike thefts as Ive lost a few over the years- My Firms BMW GSA 1200R was whipped off a bike bay in London- I wasnt a regular parker there- it was a opportunist sucess and they go the lot, ally panniers full of my kit to do my job, lid, satnav -you name it, It was in it for a couple of hours while i was 'just' going into our office and got way-payed, as you do . After that, my Firm forbid bikes and i had to buy my own or change my role.

The only thing they didnt get was the laptop,

May they burn in Hell- Blokes my age always had a downer on bike-theives as they were a breed apart- most of us needed opur bikes for gettting to work- I never lost a Rat, but my pride was my (our- as it was my wifes too) GT750 Suzi- which went in 1979. never forgotten that bike.

A couple of determined scrotes and a van and bye-bye. They dont even use them for bits over here, they ship them now.

400 had a Neiman lock and keys were never available seperately to buy cut or as blanks. If no keys you pull out the rivet with mole grips and drill out the lock with a big drill carefully as you dont get a new spring with the new lock.

PatM:
Heres mine- note the spring.
I drilled down and inserted a tap to help pry the old lock out.
