I've had a bunch of emails since I posted some pictures of the ignition switched removed. I helped them all but never like this. I had some spare time and was really board so I made quick video showing how to do it. I hope this can help some of you out.

Really cool! what is the OD of the tubing you used?

 

Nice video CLL375! About how long is the flat part of tool before you get to the bushing?

 

Excellent job!

 

Thanks guys. I believe it was 1/4" copper tubing ( I know I said brass) I had left over from a project. I was going to make out out of steel but it was late and I didn't want to start up the grinder. It worked so well I kept using it. I used electrical tape for the spacer which is 3 1/4" from the bottom. Not bad for free!

 

Great video. Does that work on the earlier ignitions like a 2002? They don't turn as far in the LOCK postion as the newer ones.

I'm not really sure but knowing how Harley never changes the small things; it may work. Hopefully some will chime in.

 

Very Good Job!!!!

 

Thanks dude, I was missing the step with the key itself.
I can now take care of changing my fork oil. Thanks for
helping folks like myself.
