Just a hole

[guitarzan]

Hello everyone,
The lock that is located on the back of the seat is missing. Does anyone know where I can find a lock that would fit and work?
Thank you

I think I've found the info you need.
Here's a manual you can download: http://www.vetterowners.com/threads/manuals.1216/#post-9278

And the important exerpt:

It looks like Mr. V simplified his supply chain and used the same locks on everything!

With that info in the manual you can get a new lock to fit in Tractor Supply. It's located in the hardware isle. If I remember correctly it's for 1/2 inch thick wood drawer facing. That 1/2 inch denotes how thick the wood is but directly relates to the length of the lock between the lock base and the end of the lock where the blade mounts. It's not a 1/2 inch between the base of the lock and the blade. It's actually longer than that. Tractor Supply sells all the same size cabinet locks keyed alike.

That's a great source, thank you!

Here's the only one I can find on their website $16.99 https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/dee-zee-toolbox-replacement-lock-w-keys?cm_vc=-10005

Much cheaper at $3.25 but shipping is high to my location at $15 for a single lock and $28 to ship an order of ten.
Not sure where they ship from but their admin offices are in PA https://nickstruckparts.com/product...nd-junior-latches?_pos=1&_sid=de414dd84&_ss=r

These are $8.05 and are listed as Free Delivery https://www.walmart.com/ip/Replacem...atches-Truck-Boxes-Replaces-19CH545/135621919

And the best deal is one Scott-E referred to in another thread a few years ago.
Here they are on Amazon, a pack of 3 for $17.42 with free shipping.

I replaced all the locks on my Vetter gear on my bike. Some had already been drilled out and none of the others had Key's so I had to drill those out myself. All my locks on the Vetter gear is keyed alike as a result. I still get nice comments on my Honda VT600 with a Windjammer 4, bags, and trunk. Mostly it's from people that have never seen a bike fitted out in Vetter gear and ask what it is. Then there are the older biker's that remember it and are shocked to see it on a modern bike. Due to design changes in modern bikes like wider forks and gas tanks it's not possible to fit an old Windjammer on them.

Not necessarily. http://www.vetterowners.com/threads/the-wj5-is-going-on-the-nighthawk-after-all.869/
