Steering lock differences

(1/5) > >>

Davelu88:
Just been comparing my usa cb550f on a 75 plate to my new uk 550f2 on a 78 plate that I got from mickf ( many thanks mick) & I have noticed that on the USA model the steering lock is operated by the ignition  but the UK one has the old style one one the headstock . I was trying  to search for a new lock for it but on the cmsl parts ficsh  it does not show the frame as having it. Any thoughts on what would fit .regards Dave

Bryanj:
Bit confused as to which lock you want

Laverdaroo:
I'm in the same predicament, my frame has no boss for a lock and I'm not running a standard ignition so I think I'd resigned myseelf to carrying a chain tbh, think there's no other way of fettling this scenario

Oddjob:
If you can get someone to weld a small metal bracket just under the top headstock ball race fitting you can have the steering lock inside the ignition.

Laverdaroo:
I woiuld Ken but my frame's gone for paint, sent it before I left including all the polishing and other bits that needed painting/coating. I think its a chain for me.
