Default 2016 Breakout Ignition Pain in The ***. How to Upgrade? Upgrade

Thanks for checking me out. I have a 2016 Breakout that every time I have to put the key in, turn the ignition on, remove the key, then start the bike. Has anyone out there upgraded past this issue? Could you clue me in? It is pretty frustrating & quite frankly drives me nuts

Tag for the exact same issue. What a stupid design.

By the way, Harley will NOT sell you just the ****/set screw, they make you buy a whole new ignition assembly at $235ish.
