brick_haus Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 I bought a used topcase for my 1200rt and it arrived with a lock cylinder installed but no key. It's in the unlocked position and I can open and close it but I cant release the install/remove tabs without the key. Any ideas? Can a locksmith make a key for it? Thanks Link to comment
Penforhire Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 There's some way to get that cylinder keyed to your existing key. My dealer did it in their shop in less than five minutes, when I bought a top box as a previosuly-uninstalled option on a new RT, but I didn't see exactly how. Link to comment
10ovr Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Who did you buy it from,,,,See if they have a key you can have or use to get the tumbler out,,,,You wont get it out with out the key,,,, Link to comment
brick_haus Posted October 22, 2008 Author Share Posted October 22, 2008 Bought it from a guy out of state from this board. he has sold the bike back to the dealer and the dealer has since resold it (it was keyed to the bike and all keys went with the bike when sold). We are trying to contact the owner and get him to loan me a key. Link to comment
