Keyless? You mean you don't have to leave the key in it when riding? Like the Wide Glide?

Here's one where the switch was moved to the console and replaces the fuel gauge:

I don't think so, although some guys have filed the key somehow to make it removable, you might try searching for that, it has been discussed a few times.

Yes there is a way. There is also a write up in the under fifty thread.

Ya, if you search through 162 pages to try and find it. Too bad the under $50 turned into a nightmare to navigate, a mod should go through and edit all the banter.
Happen to have a link to the post?

Some have mounted it in place of the horn and there are some brackets out there to do it, probably would not be too difficult to fab up your own.

Great idea. If they could delete everything but actual how-to posts it would be very helpful since it should be a reference thread.
