Default 1996 ignition switch removal

I need to tighten the handiebars on my 1996 FLH Ultra Classic. I notice that most of the information about this seems to describe an ignition switch in which the cover moves? Mine isn't like this; the key moves but the cover is static.

Anything I particularly need to know about removing this switch? Particularly, where is the detent for the cover?

I've managed to identify the switch as an International type, fitted to bikes sold in Europe. Does anyone know how to remove the inner fairing?

Turns out it's this; so for anyone this side of the pond, with an original Electra Glide, Chester Harley-Davidson website has the parts microfiche
