    It looks like the sameone. Why not just compare with the photo and the one you have? You do have one, don't you?

    Looks to be the same as the one I have now (mine has a broken keyway). Price is right so I'll order one. I'll post back the results when I get it.

    Why not do a part number comparison? The parts fisch is available at several locations on the web (yamaha, bikebandit, etc for example).

    Part numbers don't match up between Virago and Maxim/Seca using the new part numbers but with the old numbers they match up!!!

    I'd lay good odds that you will get a match then.
    Good luck on your purchase.
    Wanna throw your old one at me for parts?

    I turfed the old one, had to use a punch and hammer to get to unlock.

    Got the new one yesterday and it fits perfect. Took 2 weeks to come from China but the price is right.
