Looks like it’s part number 71684-06. If you search that on eBay a bunch pop up. I found the part number through this site:

I suppose I chose the wrong description. I need a new key switch.

The key switch on a 08 rocker c is below the fuel tank on the primary side. Key box with plug wires.

I had to replace tank switch on FLHR. Dealer had a drag for $55. Around 150 to order matching one from Harley. People around here don't lock their bikes, and fork lock is more useful

How do I remove the key housing from the coil pack? Tried turning the key face ring but it won't budge.

Look closer for a small Allen head set screw. There are other posts about this screw working loose and the ignition popping off. Same setup as Breakout.
