Default Steering lock?

Hi, how is it with the steering lock? i've got one but I do not have a key. Is the keys universal or unique?
There are steerling locks with keys to buy but in that case I would need to replace it. I doubt I can do that without drilling
If it helps, the key is the round thing.
It kinda looks like the lock in the picture. In that case, the key should just be round right? That can't be unique

Cover it with silicone to stop water getting in to the bottom steering race.

They used to have disc locks with same sort of key. I had one on a bike I bought under the seat. Disassemble a ballpoint and jammed it in. That unlocks it. So pretty bloody useless.

Those ones are smaller so probably the right size thin tube will defeat it.

Take a chain lock.

I want to be 30 again but the maths on my time machine is still a bit shakey.

Meanwhile if I can rendezvous with Elle Mc Phearson when she was The Body, and not some crazy woman. Well!

My wife had to tell me how to spell Phearson. I hope she doesn't cotton on to my nefarious plan. Spell check helped me with nefarious.

I know the steering lock might not be good but I still want one for school etc. The key looks so basic aswell. Its almost just a round circle. There cant be teeth on that key

honestly... i have not even looked at... but i will this weekend..

this was a good friends bike, he was a gg dealer back in the 2000's.... i bought my first gg from him. he passed away a few months ago and i got the chance to buy one of his bikes. it is new, never sold , i think a 2003 that started life as a 400, converted by gg to a 450 and never sold.. might have 40 miles on it.

My '11 EC250 has a steering lock. I don't have a key for it, though.
