Which bit?
Mike Yeadon does 'keyed alike' for Suzuki locks. But he's dead smart.
There again I've done mine and I'm not (according to the 2nd ex-wife.)

Ian @ OJB has published this. Might help, but personally I would be tempted to avail myself of Mike Yeadon's services for a suited lock set.

Mart,
If you've just one lock that doesn't match your other locks/key, I can guide you on how to do it. If you look inside the top of the steering lock, you'll see a 'tang' of alloy bent in to hold a vertical thin metal key, which holds the barrel in place. PM me for details.
Cheers,
Mike
