If you have the forks head bearings off etc.(to prevent debris falling in
the bearings) the fork lock is fairly easily drilled out.

I remember some discusion on fork locks a while ago, but can't
remember what the general consensus was. I am still restoring my Eldo,
and have found that I am missing the key to the fork lock.
My question is this: should I try to remove the old lock and get a
replacement, or find a locksmith to make me a new key.
If the first option is better, how is the old lock removed? I have
heard that it can be done by grinding off the chrome lock cover, but if
this is true, how should that cover be replaced?
Any comments would be appreciated.
