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.

I got a NOS set but the seat lock was for the 750F with Steel body, no little hinged flap. So sold NOS seat lock keeping ignition switch . Not fussed if any key will open seat TBH....just like the 'locking' filler cap that replaced the thumb operated original.
Bryanj:
But any key fits the cap lock Ash
Oddjob:
If you’d kept the other lock you could have just swapped the barrels over

Been told that there is a plate holding the seat lock barrel in that's crimped / staked ..not sure plus the bodies are different shape on the steel and alloy versions ... too risky to potentially scrap a NOS seat lock that I sold for 30 quid
Oddjob:
That’s how we learn things Ash, we take a risk, if it doesn’t work out you’ve not exactly lost a lot, it would have worked as well, body is slightly different but the barrels would have been the same.
