Steering lock keys

<< < (2/4) > >>

Laverda Dave:
You should get able to get a key for the ignition /seat lock, there is chap on eBay who has NOS Honda keys, he lists them by code number so you may be lucky and he has one you are after. Sorry but I don't know his eBay details but just type in honda motorcycle keys. Also do a search on here for motorcycle keys as this issue has been discussed on here a few times.
I don't think you will get a new steering lock key though unless you know the code. DSS sells original steering locks (with two keys supplied). TBH steering locks were useless so it's more for completeness to have a steering lock. Remove the old lock by drilling out the rivet. When replacing you will need to drill out the old rivet completely in order to fit the new one properly. I think DSS sells the washer separately, you will need a new one if you damage it drilling out the old rivet. Most likely the spring that fits between the bottom of the lock barrel and headstock will be rusty when you pull the old lock out.

I think the 400 uses the nieman lock on side of headstock and you can not get keys for those, you have to change the lock which is fairly easy

Bryanj:
Pic of lock i think it is, it is held in by a washer and rivet and you carefull drill the lock out so as not to damage the spring that goes in first

I have never figured out how the key number matches the number on the barrel.

The washer that holds it in just has the manufacturers name the same as the key

Bryanj:
I can remember going to a locksmith with a key and him telling me the blanks just were not available, and with no key you have to drill the lock anyway, 13mm from memory, and its brass so fairly easy
