My ignition switch got turned while installing new handle bars, and now the **** won't go back in all the way. Is the HD ignition switch alignment tool the only way to re-align it?

 

I've done it with a long, skinny slot screwdriver. Look down through with a flashlight and make sure the grooves line up. This was on a 2008 Ultra, but I'm sure it's the same for a 2014. Good luck...

 

Had same thing happen. Got it with screwdriver and lots of patience and attempts. The tool is different size on the 14's

 

Time, patience and a skinny little screwdriver is all you need.

 

Cool, thanks fellas!

 

If you search this forum there are several posts on how to make that tool out of copper tubing.

 

Silly me, I used the ignition switch. Just took the spring off of the bottom of it.

 

There is a video on you tube, I think the title is "Why you should lock your Harley"

 

screw driver as others have said. Turn the bars to the left like you would to lock the bars, turn the screw driver counter clockwise one click at a time till the bars lock. Slide the ignition fob in, in the bar lock position and it will go right in. Don't ask me how I know this

I ended up using the 1/4" copper tubing like the video. Just lightly hammer about 3" of it flat 'till it's approximately 5/16" wide and bend the top over to a 90 degree angle.
