I need a lock assembly and key for the fuel door on a 78 CB750K gas tank. Where are these sold?

Thanks!

According to the online parts fiche I use, (http://www.hdlparts.com/fiche_section_detail.asp) it appears to still be available from Honda...

Don't worry about a key. ANY key that fits in the hole will work. It's not really keyed as such. So grab any door you can find. Not sure if a F fuel door will work or not?

I got a NOS replacement from Badger Cycles for something like $12 recently. Check them out as they have more K8 parts then you could shake a stick at. Right now I have an out of production replacement petcock on the way from them that 3 local dealers say just can't be gotten.

I have to use a thin flathead screwdriver to open mine. I am sure any CB key will fit it.
