I just got a lower triple tree for my vintage 72' CB350K4 and I want to remove the old steering lock & install my # lock.I tried drilling one out a while back & had it turn out bad. Will any one send me a spare key that they have just to borrow to remove the old lock ? I will use it & send it right back to you in a protected envelope.

Thanks

I only ask to borrow one & I will send it right back to you including your postage that you spent to mail it out to me...I just need to remove this old steering lock & I have done this task before...I won't hurt or bend your key: I'll take GOOD care of it.

I looked, I have several, but not that one. Sorry.

It is a piece of cake with a key.

Hey guy, thanks for checking.

phil71 · « **Reply #8 on:** November 02, 2011, 01:05:18 AM »

you're already burned more in wasted time writing here than ordering the key for $6.50.

MCRider · « **Reply #9 on:** November 02, 2011, 09:30:24 AM »

FYI: The HondaKeys T series goes for $12. I just checked with him.

i just looked too, i dont have that number. Hmm, i bought a spare key for mine from the same guy, but at a swap meet and it was much cheaper maybe $5

The price must vary. His website says to contact him for current prices on the T series, so i did.

Oh yeah, he does have them BTW.

The only reason I need the key is to remove the steering lock;if I bought one,I would have to resell it...a pain.

I would like to know a friendly OLD Honda dealer person who still has a big box of vintage keys...that could work.

I have 2 different key styles, no go. sorry

grcamna2 · « **Reply #16 on:** November 18, 2011, 06:02:04 AM »

Any body ? ?

kirkn · « **Reply #17 on:** November 18, 2011, 07:19:02 AM »

3 weeks' delay for a $10 key? I'd have bought one by now...

Good luck!

I'm being patient Kirk...I think it's building character & I'm on a fixed income.
I was looking at some pics you had posted of some of your bikes...I dream of a work SHOP like yours;I love that sand blaster.

kirkn · « **Reply #19 on:** November 18, 2011, 08:15:49 AM »

LOL! Yeah, when fixing up old stuff, I've really become addicted to that clean, gray uniform metal that comes out!

Too bad my compressor is so small. 1 minute of blasting, 2 minutes of waiting for compressor to pump up. And only about 30 minutes total before the poor thing is getting really hot.

Sooner or later, I'll get a big compressor and the 240-v wiring to support it.

I used to work in my biological Father's air compressor business & he had a sandblaster w/ a little bit smaller cabinet than that one you have...that one that YOU have looks like a large commercial Duty unit;have you ever tried putting in a smaller nozzle so that it will push less CFM ?

kirkn · « **Reply #21 on:** November 18, 2011, 03:52:11 PM »

It was a relatively inexpensive Harbor Freight unit. The least expensive floor-standing model they had, and it was 20% off at the time. About $200, IIRC. Anyway, it came with a few spare stone nozzles, and I put the smallest one in it.

However, you make a good point - they DO open up over time, so I suspect after all this time, I might see some improvement if I put in a new, small-opening nozzle again.

grcamna2 · « **Reply #22 on:** November 18, 2011, 05:01:20 PM »

Is it possible to purchase a "smaller than small" nozzle set up for it;kind of like a very narrow point of spray...like a fine laser;it might allow your compressor to ALMOST keep up w/ the added feature of that fine spray being able to get right in to crevices,you could also lower your working pressure.I am not sure if you could do it w/ the nozzle apparatus that came w/ it though.

Pick it

get a wire from a windshield wiper, the flat ones, bend it 90° about 1/2" from the end.
stick it in the lock on the straight side, and apply a twisting force to open the lock.

get a paper click, straighten it out, put a little bump in the end deep enough to push in a pin as deep as the deepest cut in the key. Stroke that in and out and pray.

verslagen1,
How many have you done...& how have they worked out? No Problem ?
