Default Ignition **** Dismantle

I just got my ignition **** in the mail to do the relocation to the dash on my Street Bob.

How the heck do I dismantle the chrome **** piece from the black plastic base of the switch?

You don't, it mounts as a unit from the bottom of the dash.

Hmm... I sort of thought the idea was to mount the black base piece under the dash, put the dash back together, then the chrome piece snaps on above the dash. I guess either way makes sense. I swore I saw pics of people wiring everything up without the chrome **** on there. Maybe I'm mistaken, either way, I'll get it sorted out I suppose...

Better one to look at if you're keeping the Bob dash and modifying it.

Thanks Ackman, I've had those bookmarked for a little over a year, finally got my *** in gear to get it done. I had it wrong, clearly it just mounts the entire unit as a whole. Thanks for the follow up though.
