No steering lock on the Katana?

[pano]

So I got this (new) old 82 1000SZ Katana. It seems odd that it doesn't have a position in the ignition where you can turn the key and lock the steering.

Am I missing something? I would sure hate to have someone put her in neutral and roll away.

What do you veteran Katana users due when you leave the bike outside and unattended?

There's not a fork lock assy under the lower triple tree?

Yep, the steering lock is a seperate unit that is mounted on the left-hand side of the headstem tube. It protrudes about 1/2" and takes a seperate key from the one you use in the ignition lock.

Don't have a key for it? Not a great drama. The lock is still available as a spare part, so just order a newie (keys are included).

How do you get the old lock out? Easy; gently drill out the old one using a slow speed drill. It's all made out of brass so is fairly easy to remove.

Ahh yes I see the steering lock now. I do not have the key but will contact the seller to see if he has it. If not I will see what a lock smith can do or purchase a new one. Thanks all.
