Default road king fork lock

Somethings wrong with the fork lock on my 2005. Somehow the barrel thing in the middle of the key hole is stuck in the middle between lock and unlock. I tried moving it with a pick but its not budging. Am I going to have to replace the whole unit or what?

Down here in the Desert, I few of my RK Pals have had the locks jam up.

try a shop vac, see if there is a bit of grit in there


there are aftermarket covers you can get for the lock
