Default Barrel Comes OUT with the key

anybody got a fix for this?

Last fall, 2nd last ride before putting the bike away for the winter, I pulled into my garage and went to lock-up the bike... I put the barrel key in and turned it to lock and pulled out the key and the barrel came out with the key!

bikes a 2000 softail deuce.

Help! any thoughts other than replacing the whole switch?

-thanks

Are you talking about the ignition switch? If so, there are no individual replaceable - 1 piece switch only.

If you are talking about the frame lock, there is a small set screw that holds it in.

These switches often fail. You can pick one up from JP cycles for about 60 bucks. Comes with 2 keys.
