Hi Ive got the seat retaining mechanisim on my 1981 500 sport but not the lock, just a hole. Are these available anywhere or can some other lock be made to work with a bit of fettling. I still have a good spring on the latch but if it breaks are they available any where. Cheers

Some air cooled BMW boxers used the same lock?

Plus Moto-Bins and James Sherlock
They all have new and used parts

great thanks for the reply. £77 for new bmw one is a bit much with my other expenditure. Ill look for a secondhand one.

Have you tried Mdina? I bought one for my K1 31/2 from NLM.

Hi thanks for the help. I tried mdina no stock but got the latch spring. Have bought a secondhand classic BMW lock that looks right with key and locking ring. Hopefull I can get that to work.

Many thanks with the BMW lock suggestion. It works a treat. Its from an r45, r50, r60 era bmw.
