Hi guys, sorry for my 1st post being in the classifieds section, ill say hi to you all and introduce myself later :icon_salut:
Ive just bought a 2003 Lucifer orange Tiger 955i and i love it to bits (most sensible bike ive ever owned, last bike was a honda VTR SP1!!).
Im planning on doing a bit of touring around Europe in the not to distant future however the previous owner of my Tiger has managed to lose the keys that fit the top box and panniers :icon_rolleyes:
So basically im after a set of locks and keys to fit (a set of 3 would do fine), ive been told by my local stealer that they are no longer available?? Is that correct?
£ waiting for the right bits, can anyone help me out?
Thanks in advance

Welcome Phil, I do a bit of locksmithing, but I'm too far away from you. If you find a local locksmith (and I don't mean keycutter, I mean someone who has a few years in the business) and take him a lock, he can cut you keys to fit it and it won't cost anywhere near as much as a new lock set. If you can find some. It's just a matter of opening up the lock and looking at the wafers then cutting the key to lift them. It's not hard.
Nothing wrong with an SP1, with open pipes one of the best sounding bikes there is. Mate had a Castrol Colin Edwards rep :icon_mrgreen:
Oh, and fill in a bit of your profile please, at least the location, it lets the rest of the world know where you are.
I've two, with a key. Took off my cracked top box 9 days before bike totaled. But I think too expensive to ship.
If the boxes will open (unlocked), it is easy to rekey. Just take the locks apart and shuffle the bits until they fit your key. I was successful my first try.
