Need a forken lock and keyI posted the same question recently. Hondakeys.com answered back that the NA series were scarcer than, well NA series keys.

Thats what I ended up doing after drilling out the pin.

If you can get it out, take it to a locksmith who has been around for a while. It is the really old style tumbler that uses pins. Pretty simple and the locksmith can open it up and make you new keys. If you can't get it out (and it is not locked), why not just leave it there and keep looking for a key? You will need to be patient, but one will show up sometime. Just a thought. Locksmiths are not only the type of call when you have an emergency locking situation. They also offer many other useful services for residents and businesses.
