Need new gas lid lock.
« on: September 01, 2022, 06:18:51 PM »
Hey all, I have a 77 cb550f and my lock for the gas lid/latch has broken and the lid is just flopping in the wind.
I'm realizing how difficult it is to find a new one.

Anyone have one I can buy? Or is there one that you have used to make it work?

I have a 77 cb750 lock assembly that would probably work but a little part of the plastic trim around the keyhole cracked off.

Give me some time to find it…some people just abandon the assembly altogether and go aftermarket with a push pop up button. Here’s someone that recently did it.

Wow I really like that button!
