Not all Dynas. Hell I don't even know where my key is. I haven't used it in years.

That would be me. I agree the soft part should go on the FOB. I felt the harder "hook" side would pick up too much pocket lint when it was in my pocket.

Back to the OP.. got a bent key too..not from the fob (even tho' its resilient should'nt be with the key for obvious reasons) flying around in the wind , but from the rigid metal brake line that runs from the top yolk to the bottom yolk of the tripletrees..

So those of you who want to be in the exclusive *Bent Key Club* here's how too

Stick key in ignition,turn to start and then reverse or forwards your Dyna full right rudder out of the garage or wherever you may be parked..the solid brake pipe bends the key...try it then join the BKC lol

I just put a quick release key ring on the fob and key so now the only thing hanging in the ignition is the key and a ring and the fob is in my pocket, problem solved.

I guess I may have overlooked this but when did move the ignition on the dynas to the front sportster-style? My Superglide is an '05 and it is still behind the battery box which seems like a much better place for it.
