can I pick your brains lads and lasses, I need a key for my headstock/ steering lock?  best way to find number / supplier 1978 cb 550k3

Those locks don't have numbers marked on them. The only option is to drill the old one out and fit a new replacement (Genuine and pattern ones are available) and they are not too pricey.

Correct, Neiman never supplied keys seperately.
Prize off the washer and rivet as you will need to reuse them then just drill into the middle till the lock falls apart, keep the spring as it does not come with the lock

I have used Express keys and locks in Orpington Kent for over 25 years.They have never failed to supply a key over the years.

I need to sort out a spare key - the one key I have isn't original Honda - the plastic fob end is marked GER on the other side it is stamped HA 32SP.

The DS site mentions two different blanks so I guess its a visit to Timsons - only saving grace is the key fits everything except the steering column.

Ted the 2 different keys are because the slot running down the length of the key is either on the left or on the right, check DS and you'll see an explanation of which to order, it's very simple really. DS also sell the blanks.

The slot rebate on mine is on the left even when you turn the key over so it's Type 1 then - thanks for the info I'll know which one to choose .
