Not sure how it'd be done without destroying the lock really unless you can find someone to pick it?

Re: seat lock , can i get into it!
not at those prices mate. tbh you never really need to go into the seat, storage space isnt exactaly useful lol but i do remember struggling to remove my ass fairing without being able to remove my seat. so i bought an old lock and was hoeing i could get inside and sort it so my ignition key would turn it, even if i just bust it through!? like with a screwdriver, so anykey would work will do.

Ive seen it done on an ignition lock so cant see why it couldnt be done on the seat lock if you can get into it that is

Re: seat lock , can i get into it!
If you reach up the left hand side between the fairing and subframe (not much room) you can pull the cable to undo the seat. You can probably even grab it with some pliers.
That worked for me before when I locked the keys under the seat!
Oops ignore my post, didn't read the OP properly. Buy a cheap lockset lol.
