A key operated disc tumbler cylinder lock plug is connected to one end of the threaded rod. The lock plug has radially extending discs projecting from the plug along the length thereof. A key is insertable in the cylinder lock plug to retract the discs. A cylinder lock housing is attached to and extends through the fender skirt. The lock housing has a passage therethrough with the passage including a cylindrical portion adapted to receive the cylinder lock plug and spaced longitudinally extending stops adapted to engage the radially extending discs to prevent rotation of the cylinder lock in the passage.
