Hi all,
Dropped forks, looks like the inside of the welded tube damaged allowing barrel to move to a locked position.
.Was wondering, instead of getting a welded steering lock tube done has anyone come up with an alternative ignition that bypasses the steering lock altogether?
Tks

It's only two wires you should be able to put anything in line

Mine has 4 wires from the switch PX200E but battery removed. A lot of the wiring has been fiddled with previously.
Thinking about it, would like something different ;)

Just work out which 2 are the ignition then find out what the other two are for the ignition barrel turns out of lock then next turn is ignition on so all four wires will either break or make contact just have a play with them in situ
