The CVO bikes do not have an ignition switch other than the one on the Handle bar grip right side. The one above the forks is just a fork lock.

I'm not familiar with the procedure for removing the CVO fork lock, but you could remove the fuel tank and the dash panel will come out without removing the fork lock. Fuel tank removal is a 20 minute procedure.

Thanks for the pic , that looks like the same switch on 19 model ?
I kind of figured it wasn't a simple rotate the switch and push the release button like my 14 ultra , but it doesn't make since to have to remove the tank , for that switch panel
engineering excellence !

Just turn the bars to almost the stops and you can remove the panel after you snake your hands behind it to remove the wire plugs to the switches.

already tried that and there isn't enough room without scuffing up the tank / lower panel or both

If its like the Road Glide. Simply push in a little at the base of the plastic trim that is around the lock. The little trim piece has a little clip that holds it in place. This video shows rhe plastic trim
