Post by Mike.Z »

Hi!

I have the old classic steering lock on my naked GL1100 -81, but the keys are missing. Is there any key number that can help me ge new keys, or, do i have to buy a new lock?

Found this links:

But not sure if non of them will fit my bike.

Anyone??

Best regards

Isn't the steering lock part of the ignition lock system?

Maybe?

The hole were the "lock bolt" is comming out from the ignition key lock, was covered with a plastic plug/cap on my old ignition lock. Hmm. :)
And there is nothing on the steering head that indicates that an "electrical" lock will function. My new ignition has a bolt that comes out, but i can't use that on mine so. :(

Since he is in Sweden I would say yes. There were a number of differences between US and Euro models. As you already know. ;)

Locksmiths can do wonders. I was locked out of a running rental minivan a week ago. The lock guy had it open in 30 seconds. I would ride it to a locksmith and see.

A really good locksmith can cut a key for the existing lock cylinder. I had to do that once with a previous car of mine, lost the only key I had, and new ignition cylinders didn't exist for it. Dropped off the cylinder and a key blank, and I picked up a working key the next day.
