Default Neutral Safety Switch?
My neutral light flickers off and on while I am going down the road. Is this the neutral safety switch? If so, I have Vance and Hines exhaust what is the best way to get the safety switch off to change it? The exhaust is in the way will I have to drop this down as well to access it or is there an alternative? Is the neutral safety switch a big deal?

I used to have this issue once in a while after washing my previous Dyna when water would get in the connector. A little dielectric grease solved the issue. You should be able to get at the switch with a few swivels on a ratchet.

So do I have to physically take it out and put diode stuff on it and put it back? There is no room to get a rachet in there.

No just in the electrical connectors on top. Try pushing them down further on the switch to see if one is coming loose
