Steering Lock

(1/2) > >>

internix:
I want to fit a new steering lock to my 1977 CB550 F2 as I have no keys for mine and I can`t see a number on the lock. I see DS do a replacement lock for

pae:
If it's like the 650 it's held in by a pressed-in stud, with a washer under the head. I managed to get mine out by tapping a thin bladed screwdriver under the washer and carefully levering the stud out.

It was a while ago, but I think you need to operate the lock for it to pull out the slot it's in (it doesn't just fall out). With a new one you'll obviously have a key so that's OK. With the old one you drill a hole down the centre of the lock, until it all disintegrates, and then it WILL just fall out.

As they say "installation is the reverse of the above"

Pae's right. I replaced the one on my CB550F2 exactly as he said.

I used one from David Silvers and it worked a treat.

internix:
Thanks for the advice gents. A previous owner has prised the washer off leaving just the remains of the brass rivet. I`ll drill out the lock and get a new one ordered from DS.

I installed a new steering lock sourced from David Silver, no problems fitting and it works fine.

Any idea where I can find a new suitable brass rivet/washer to fit ?

(the lock works ok without this, but tends to pull out of the barrel when unlocking)

Thanks.
