Helmet lock problem.

[darthandy]

Went to use one of the helmet locks on my RSV and discovered that the "guts" of the lock are gone. I can see a small spring at the back of the opening and the lock and "hook" are still there but the rest is gone. Is it possible to get just that part or do I have to search out a whole new lock? And if I get a new lock, is it possible to change over the old lock cylinder so that I don't wind up with a second key?

 

Thanks,

 

Andy

get a used lock and take it along with your ignition key to a locksmith, yes it can be re-keyed to match your original key.

Thanks for the info Mike. Can't find any used ones on Ebay, so I may just get a universal lock from Kuryakan and attach it to one of the guards on the saddle bags.

Keep a eye on E-Bay. I've seen them pretty often. Computer won't let me look right now.

Would a helmet lock from a 1st Gen work?
