Steering lock keys

(1/4) > >>

Hi everyone, I have never used it on the cb400 but wrongly assumed that the steering lock key was the same as the ignition and seat lock but just discovered that it’s totally different.
Now when I bought the bike I only had one key so obviously sometime over the bike life the key was lost by a previous owner.

So my first question , is it worth buying a key for the steering lock because to me it looks like it would be quite easy to break the lock do it’s a bit pointless locking it ?

My second question is where would I get a replacement key from if I wanted one or would it mean changing the lock for a new one ?

Well I had my ignition keys duplicated by DSS years ago, and they still do. All you have to do is ask them. I googled honda motorcycle keys cut to code and got results, mostly for used keys, but I think the market may be too small for anyone to cut what you want. You'll certainly need the code though. As for security, well I guess it is better than nothing if you didn't travel with something better, a thief would still have to break the lock and that means behaving suspiciously. It was a steering lock that saved me from losing a Suzuki RG500 Gamma ( remember them?) thanks to the noise he was making in my back garden, I was in the bath and heard it. After that I used the chain every time even if I was only going away briefly. But as before, worth having.

Thanks for the reply George, I’ll have a look around on the internet and see what I can find, as you say it’s better than nothing but if someone is determined to steal your bike they will but it might stop an amateur.

Hi Ken ,
Try arun-locks.co.uk
He cut me a pair of seat keys from a number really quickly .
Brilliant work , and he's local in Billingshurst .
You might find its a German key and not a Honda one  , but it's worth a try .
Good luck !

Hi Dave

Thanks for the information, I am on Copthorne so not too far for me to go pay him a visit.

Regards Ken
