I have a 2000 Intruder 1500 the fork lock key broke off in the lock while in the locked position. Can't get it out can the lock cylinder be removed 'easily'? @
I have the same bike. Mine didn't come with a fork lock key, so I've never locked mine. If this works for you, you can decide whether or not you want to go further about repairing/replacing the lock cylinder.
First of all, you'll probably have to rotate the handlebars slightly to take pressure off of the locking mechanism. Then take a pair of small needle-nose pliers and try rotate the lock cylinder, all the while slightly rotating the handlebars. If you can get it unlocked that way, you're golden.
The video on 7 tricks to remove a key makes a lot of sense to me, if you haven't looked at it, I recommend it. With patience and a "light hand" I think you'll get it out.

Normally we would replace the lock cylinder and housing at the dealer.....but if it were my car I'd uses a punch and hammer to slam that pin in and remove the cylinder. It's worth a try first before having to replace the entire housing.

Then you either got the wrong bolt, or the knob part is still in the hole. Take a close look at the bolt you took out, and see if something may have broken off it. If it did, you might be able to get the rest out with a magnet. There is a threadless part on the end of the bolt that's about an inch long. It goes down against the tumbler and hold it in there. The newer ones are a torx head, but i can't remember if 78 is or not.
