Default Ignition Switch Move FXDF
Thinking about moving the ignition switch to the horn mount (got rid of my horn). If i move it, what are some options for the dash cover? I wouldnt mind moving the speedo to the bars, but then Id still need a dash cover for the tank gap. Is there a direct fit dash cover that only houses the speedo?

So, like, you planning to reinstall the horn to get through inspections once a year?

IF you want to "fill the hole" where the horn was move your coil there. (DK does a good kit)

Most people with ignition mounted to the horn location (i.e. Low rider owners) will tell you how that location isn't the best for mounting plastic electronics.

Good input - what I have seen is just changing to a switch (no lock), just depending on the keyless start. Makes sense with the plastic. Not 100% sold yet on doin anything yet.
