Reason fork lock doesn't work?

Reason fork lock doesn't work?
So my fork lock doesn't work on my 2000 RKC. As ericl suggested in a previous post, I tried moving the neck back and forth to find "the spot" - but no matter what, when I turn the key it makes a sound like the tumbler is hitting something and will not turn all the way to lock.
Now, the previous owner installed a tach on the handlebar steering column - would there be something in this hardware that interferes with the fork lock?
Could the fork lock be replaced? For how much?
Also - in the absence of the fork lock or any other security system - do you recommend using a disc lock - I like the Xenon lock with a siren - or don't most of you use your fork lock or extra protection anyways?
Thanks

I very rarely use my fork lock unless I am parked somewhere unfamiliar. I have an alarm though, I just bring my FOB with me.

Thanks - I'll look in to that procedure. I don't have any security or alarm so I would like to have some protection other than just locking the ignition.

IF you have a ROAD KING.
#1 It is possible that the large black rubber doughnut on fork leg tube is not allowing forks to turn fully left in order for lock position to be engaged.
#2 while sitting on bike.... consider pulling left handlebar grip towards you and hold..then turning key...do same to unlock...pull hold and then turn key..
Doughnut keeps handlebar from banging against gas tank.
