How hard is it to remove/rekey a bike windshield where guy lost the key?

[SaltyNuts]

Looking at a bike. Looks immaculate. One thing is the guy has an after market windshield on it and lost the key. How hard is it to get that thing rekeyed or to get it cut off? I like it well enough but last thing I want is something I can't get off there if I want to.

Thanks!

If you want to salvage the lock then you'd likely need to pick it open and then re-key. It would likely be easier to drill out the lock and just replace it. Not knowing what it looks like, seems likely it would be a common design and readily available on eBay, Amazon, etc.

Thanks NutBucket. If I can get it drilled out for cheap that is all I care about. Not too concerned about the niceties, just didn't want some windshield on my bike that I couldn't remove without cutting the frame or some dumb shit LOL. Thanks!!!!

I haven't seen a lock that would stand up to a 4" grinder with a cutoff wheel. Get a cordless on if you're looking for new opportunity's.

Lost the key to what? The windshield?
