Matching Keys

(1/6) > >>

Trying to match keys to ignition and early steering lock (NOT the Nieman type as fitted to CB400F) and seat locks. So one key fits everything.
I managed to remove the tumbler pins and springs for the old style steering lock and pretty sre I can adjust the three pins lengths  to sit an ignition key.
However, not so sure how you get access to the tumbler pins on the 400F type seat lock. Anyone done this?

Oddjob:
Just a small clip on the back of the barrel Ash. Then the slide will come off and the lock will drop out. You can then see the tumbler plates.

This is interesting! Every day an education of course.

Oddjob:
You need to be careful you don't accidentally make the locks so easy to open that almost any key will fit.

Can you not just source a keyed alike set? They are still around but admitably they ain't cheap. Spotted one on Ebay a month or so ago.

I have 2 sets of them on my 500. As it's wearing a 550 harness, the top ignition lock pairs with the seat lock and the steering lock pairs with the lower ignition lock.

Brass clip that pushes to the centre.
