Steering Lock Key
Bryanj:
To the best of my knowledge all the UK 400's had the seperate steering lock, but having said that if you check the ignition lock it simply extends a hardened pin to lock against something on the frame so , in theory , should be possible to fit
Lobo:
Cheers Bryan - will have a look but unsure of how I'd know without having the 2 frames side-by-side to compare. My parts PDF - kindly supplied by Peter (Kent400) - does not clarify. You gotta ask just why Honda would go to the expense / trouble of 2 different locking systems - I originally figured some 'elf'n'safety issue - but cars have long had steering locked by the ignition key.
Thanks again.
Bryanj:
Honda were not always logical mate, theywere still making the 500K1 for the UK when the states had theK2 and the 550
Lobo:
Cheers all,
The attached (English & American frames) putting pictures into words. My (American) ignition lock has a protruding pin which locks against the upper headstock flange.
Thanks for the various helps,
Lobo

Thanks to Bryanj and hairygit for their advice above. This is all fixed.
I used a claw hammer to lever out the rivet then a 6mm drill, which takes out the internals only. Once I got to more or less the key depth the lock can be twisted with a screwdriver. Last picture shows the locked position.
Thanks again
Tom
