Title: Steering lock Post by: TTV6FC on August 15, 2007, 07:26:20 PM Can anyone tell me what brand of steering lock this is?It was on my grey FC when I bought it and I can't seem to find any writing on it at all.I assume several different companies made these.Curious to know if anyone has one the same or has info about this one.Cheers,Jamie.

Title: Re: Steering lock Post by: mcl1959 on August 16, 2007, 09:56:03 PM Drill down and then try an easy out - I have got them out this way before and it is very easy to wreck the lock because the body is only aluminium and the drill cuts it up real quick
