Default Steering lock pin/Frame sv650s K5

Hey guys

a pair of scrotes tried to make off with my bike last night. no lasting damage, but the forced the steering lock and now im left with a deep groove in the frame, and i think the bolts holding the ignition barrel to the yoke might be slightly bent

luckly this hasnt affected the riding but no i have no effective steering lock. i was thinking that i could just put a dab of weld into the groove to stop this problem, and put some new bolts on the ignition barrel to replace the bent ones

any idea if there is an easier way to fix this? will the weld be ok on the frame?

might be able to post a pic of whats happened to explain it better

thanks

Paul

Sorry to hear about that.
Dod of weld will probably be ok just let it heat up gradually and cool down gradually to minimise stresses in the metal. Aluminium is a gret heat conductor so be aware of anythign that might melt against it! Probably need to strip a lot of it back. If you are unsure using JBweld (or similar liquid metal) might be better. Its damned tough if keyed in right!
The bolts are Torx headed as standard by the way so you might need to get some sockets for them.
