Post by: PatheticPuma on April 01, 2013, 08:07:57 PM
Hoping someone may have a lock set they dont need, and just so happen to want a set of white rims.

Yea...there's a bit of a gap there. Need the whole shebang though. Wife's 89 came with no key. and the PO decided to bust all the locks with a screwdriver. I thought it sounded stolen but title was free and clear.

You can get a new ignition switch and 2 keys from Emgo off motorcycle superstore for 30 bucks, I've had to do that. Seat lock - removed the lock mechanicsm, just have the cable hanging, and gas cap, just got one from adidas with a key!

Might save you a little to go that route, IF money is an issue like my build

Super simple to re-key the seat lock. I've done it to a few bikes.
Simplest way is to just remove the 4 lock wafers. Then any key will open the seat. Otherwise, use 1 to 4 of them - take them out and pout ones back in that will work. Usually you can move them and at least 2 will still lock the seat.
A locksmith could do it in 5 minutes or less.

Gas cap and ignition are different beasts.

Well I got laid off, so money is a huge deal. That's why I am trying to barter  :icon_mrgreen:

I may pull the washers from the spare I have, and jut let it look like it needs a key. Thanks. Still need the other 2 though. Have absolutely no use for these wheels, I will put up some pics tonight in the hopes someone will trade. Or at least offer enough to buy one of the ignition/fuel cap combos on fleabay.

Hmm, that sounds good. My seat lock cylinder... is more like a zip tie loop hanging off the metal piece on the end of the cable. I'll have to keep an eye out for one, thanks.
