How can the steering lock be removed undamaged?

Post by julianharty »

I'd like to remove my Kanguro's steering lock, ideally without destroying whatever's holding it in place as I doubt I can obtain replacements. The bike's an X (or X0 if you prefer) i.e. with a front drum brake. I don't have a key for it. I've attached a photo of it FYI. Advice welcome. Bonus points for anyone who knows where I can get a replacement lock (and if necessary whatever holds it in).
Thank you
Julian

This is a broadly similar lock

John, I agree it's broadly similar however the way the Kanguro lock is held in differs significantly. FWIW I successfully removed steering locks from other Moto Morinis and documented the process here http://www.morini-riders-club.com/forum ... php?t=4936.

Julian, maybe you have already managed to remove the lock, but if not Have a look at this ad on EBay.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/165589171944 ... R8z-hKPoYA

As you can see the piece in your picture is purely a cover which looks like it’s cast. I reckon you should be able to break that, which will allow you to get a purchase on the rivet heads and twist them back out. Then you can possibly order a replacement ZADI key as you’ll be able to see the complete number on the lock (10 something). If not a complete lock.

Hope it helps.

Kamel.

Kamel,
That's wonderful, I've never seen anything like this cover before. I've ordered one and will then see if I can work out how to remove my current cover without damaging it (knowing I've a replacement if needed).
