Steering Lock Key
Lynx:
I had a go at replacing my steering lock last night. I had to as I haven't got any keys for the one on there. It took a while to get the old one out. I started with a 4mm drill before going up to the 6mm. I still couldn't get the centre piece out, or turn it at all. I ended up drilling out the whole center piece with a 9mm drill bit, then using a small Allen key hooked into one of the internal slots, I managed to pull the lock out with mole grips on the Allen key.
Now I'm not used to this type of lock but looking at the design, am I right in thinking the whole lock needs to slide in and out of the housing and the steel bit at the end should locate into a hole in the steering stem? My steering stem doesn't have a hole in it!
Lynx:
I think you are right Oddjob. I can see down the lock hole well and there is definitely no hole on the stem! This probably explains why The stem isn't long enough to get the washer under the steering stem's top nut :o.

Hi gents. I have a 1972 500/4 imported from Italy.
It has the yoke in the attached pic which I feel sure is not correct.
I have the correct yoke to replace it with, on which the lock has a plastic cap with a dust cover tab on a sprung shaft like my old UK 72 bike.
Just curious to see if anyone knows what the Neiman one is off, and whether it's of interest.
Regards Jerry
Lynx:
That's totally different to the 400.

Maybe a 450 twin, or 350/4?
