It was a zero. I'm going to write the number on the plastic cover on the back of the ignition in Magic Marker.  Someone should make a Hallmark movie about a guy and his broken bike. The possibilities for plot twists and AHA! moments and self-discovery are endless. HA!

All my parts have arrived from Partsfish and I'm ready to start re-assembling.  Time to fish around the archives for re-assembly hints and tricks.   Wink

Interesting tread.
I did buy a tank for my flames paint and the tank come without a key. 30 years ago I did work as locksmith so I knew how to do.
It took a few second to open the lock. I took a feeler gauge and grind it so i fit the key slot, thats all Smiley My 8 years old boy could pick it also when he did see how Smiley
My bikes steering lock cylinder had the same key profile but I put it back empty, don't need to lock the tank.

Thats gonna go down hard for some folks here..After seeing what that locksmith did & watching some TV I had a shot at picking a few small, cheap locks, really, just turn the cylinder a little then rake a small wire across the pins. Theyll go to their spot & jam up, cylinder will twitch a hair, keep rakin till all the pins find their spot & Shazzam! Its open,,
I did that for my boss on some desks he bought, came w/o keys & drawers locked. Small flat blade & a paper clip.
Now, as for Making a key? Id Like to be able,, for sure,,
