Default 92 Electra Glide Ignition Switch Substitute?

My ignition switch recently went out on my 92 FLHTC and I've been looking around for a replacement. The OEM part is a fortune and I cant seem to find one anywhere besides the dealer.

Has anybody eliminated the stock switch and changed to something else that works well or can somebody tell me a good place to find a replacement for a good price? I've got the entire bike apart right now for paint so I can relocate and make a custom application easily if you guys know something that works good. Thanks again for the help!!

I found one in he V-Twin catolog. It says it's about $30 for a 6 post cast switch that replaces pn 71501-73 for 1985-'95. www.vtwinmfg.com.

That seems like it'll work....it looks a little different but the description says its a replica. I'm a little worried about it fitting the factory location because there's a big size difference. I found this one by googling the part # you provided for me:

Anybody able to provide an opinion about this aftermarket ignition switch? My bike takes me on trips that are over 1,000 miles from home. I'd like to get dependable parts even if the million dollar OEM parts are the best option.

Thanks a lot for the find big cahuna!! That'll save me quiet a few $ if it works out.
