Fairing cap, ignition switch removal- touring
Ok, after being confused by the service manual about how to remove my ignition switch on my '07 Ultra classic, I did some searches on the forum. I found some info about how easy it was to remove, but still said to refer to the service manual. In the manual it says to turn the forks all the way to the left, turn the ignition switch to the left to the lock position, then insert key push down and while pushing up on little button on bottom of switch, turn key counter clockwise. Then it tells you to use HD special tool to turn the ignition in any position you need (because the fork is now locked) BULLSH#T!
The easiest way to do this is leave the forks facing forward, turn iginition switch to lock position, insert key and while holding button in push key down and turn counter clockwise. the igniton switch will pop straight up. There is a fairly large spring that will drop off the botton of the switch so be ready for that as you withdraw it. Now take a 7/8 in open end wrench and loosen the nut on top of the cylinder, and pull the plastic ring up and off. Lay every thing out in order so you can install in the same configuration. If you need to remove your fairing cap,there is a screw on each end. Also I found it easy to remove the tank dash to gain enough clearance between the gas tank.
