Hello

I am from Denmark and member of this Forum.
Can somebody help me with a Oem Part no Of a new Cover to my Ignition Switch?

And is it possible to install a newer model Ignition switch so i can start the engine without using the key everytime?

My bike is a Flht 2001 with the old type ignition switch as have the key permanent in the switch when driving?

Hope somebody can help me.

Thanks

Lars

 

Hi Lars,

many of us get part numbers from this website:

http://www.shopronniesharleydavidson.com/

select oem harley davidson...

then motorcycle

and you should get a pull down menu with model year and then model.

however...your ignition switch may be different ( for European use?) or have been replaced by a previous owner.

I have had a 1995 model and a 2009 model, neither needed the key in place to start or turn the switch.

once the key is turned to "unlock" the switch can be turned to any of the positions

late 90's touring models had weak electrical contacts in the switch and many were replaced ( some under a manufacturers recall) - I wonder if your was replaced

( the weak contacts are made worse if high watt bulbs are used in the headlamp)

Thank you for your help.
I am wery thanksfull for your answer and specially the fine site where to find oem part no and fine pictures.
my bike was from new sold in Germany and maybe the other owner change the switch.
I send two pictures one from my bike,and one with the switch i am interested in (number 18)
at the picture from Ronnies Harley.
Do you know if its possible to change only the switch and use my old inner circle so i can use my own key?

it would be a little more comfortable not to use the old model switch on these days where to do many stop and starts.

Thanks

Lars

 

I can't be of any help to you- my switches are like those in the parts diagram...I have not seen the type you have...

could that be a road king ignition switch?

good luck- someone here should be able to help.

Thanks
I am sure the link Will be used a lot here In the future.
I own the bike from nearly new.
Then it was a Roadking Classic.
After a while i buy a salvage flht and change Model��
But ignition switch was from the flht.
I Think if it Will be from a Roadking its maybe from a older model before the twincams 1999.

Maybe some other Can Tell me how much i need to change to install newer switch **** type?

Thanks for all your help

Hej Michael��
Har ikke chekket forummet her længe.
Nej,fik ikke fat i noget andet.

Sjovt at træffes her.

I know that this is an old thread but clearly you have the same switch I have on my bike.

How does the inner fairing detach? Does the switch cover come with it?
