I need the whole part of the lock including the key

Jason,  Have a look at this site  http://www.ronayers.com/oemparts/a/hon/5053f21ef870021c54be6860/grab-rail   which will let you choose the parts that you need.  They can either be ordered direct from the Ron Ayres web site, or from Blue City Motorcycles in Australia at  http://bluecitymotorcycles.com.au/oem/honda/search-parts?brand=honda&year=2008&model=4901&assembly=69596

Couldnt work it out. The top box I have snapped the key in the lock and wanted to get that entire lock area replaced.

A lock smith can remove the broken piece easily, they have the proper tools to hook it out. Then oreder a key blank and have it cut.

Lots cheaper.

[jf3000]

So using the broken cut piece, grafted onto a new blank?

[Gadget]

The locksmith using a special machine, chit the new blank to match the shape of the old key. Basically it traces the shape of the old key. The same machine they use to make a copy.

[StinkyPete]

I thought from your initial post that you were after a full side Pannier Lock Assy, rather than the Top Box Lock.   However, Brock and Gadget have nailed it, so just take it to a lockmsith, and they will be able to sort it out for you.

A good locksmith can do almost anything with a lock.

On the way back from the 2013 Ulysses AGM I lost my keys to the Classic trailer lid.  This was somewhere between Nymboida and Ebor, didn't miss them until we checked into the hotel-motel at Uralla - Top Pub (great pub, check this link: https://goo.gl/maps/Zxy3QKBRuh62 ).   My travelling companion (Mal), said later, "Yeah, I noticed a bunch of keys with a Ulysses lanyard on the road somewhere".  Thanks Mal!!!

Anyway, a locksmith at Tamworth (https://goo.gl/maps/icHk1P634iz) helped, he put a little gizmo in the lock, it 'read' the inside of the lock, he plugged the gizmo into his office PC which linked to a key cutting machine.  Five minutes later he handed me a key, said "Try that", I did, it worked, he cut me another one and only charged me $20:00.

As suggested above, get the bike and pannier to a locksmith.

I've always been under the impression the ignition key fitted the panniers and lockable glove box (mine does all that), so why would jf3000 need to have a blank key cut? Or am I missing something here?

[Brock]

Getting another (short key) cut. saves removing the key from the ignition to open it.

ST1300 OEM topbox has a different key.  It's small, and the blank is common.

By "back pannier" I think jf3000 is talking about his top box.

That makes more sense.

[jf3000]

Top, back I dont know what its called..... The box behind me :)

[West Aussie Glen]

That is the one. Right and left panniers and a top box.

Phewww, now to get that damn key out. Now come across a new issue, bike needs a new service. The bike doesn't start. I have to go to neutral to start to be able to ride, weird.

Not weird- it's the side stand inhibit switch.  Won't let you start the bike in gear with the stand down so you don't do the klutz thing and ride off with a dangling side-stand.

[jf3000]

How easy is that to get replaced, is it something I could remove, or a mech is required?

[Brock]

Sidestand switch is easily removed.

Remove left rear fairing, Undo plug just above gear lever (you cant miss it it should be at eye level as you squat.

undo bolt on front of sidestand, switch assy should now pop off.

refit in reverse order.

[jf3000]

Anywhere online i can order that part, anywhere from here the price seems to go up about $200

Hmmmm . . . As many have already said . . . Take it to a proper locksmith . .

I'm assuming you've got the side stand up and the clutch lever in when you try to start...
