Hello F650GS'ers , can you help here ?

When we got my wife's 2002 GS it had the top box & mounting plate fitted, I have since acquired "the large silver piece" that covers the tail piece (where you access the seat release) that I assume would have been fitted as standard. When I came to remove the top box / rack & fit the newly acquired piece yesterday all was going well until I tried to fit the lock barrel I removed from the smaller (top box / rack plate) tail piece that was already fitted but they appear different , does anybody know what the solution is (maybe buy a different lock barrel ?). I assumed they would have been interchangeable as most people would be adding a top box & retain the existing lock barrel.

Cheers

John
 
The lock and barrel are the same. You might be slightly confused as the black cover that comes with the rack has an extra black bit IIRC. Did you manage to get the barrel out properly? This is an easy job if you know how.

If you post pics of the two covers I will be able to help you out.
