Default Stupid Question...
So stupid question here, but where or how do you lock the ignition/fuel on the new slim? Im looking to buy one without the handsfree but I cant find any pictures that show a locking fuel switch. My girlfriend's Blackline has a barrel key lock for the forks and the fuel.

I knew the ignition was on the tank but I didn't see a place to insert a key. Any pictures of it?

It's not obvious, but the very top of the ignition **** is actually a flip cover - here's a pic...

Haven't Softails had that same switch for the better part of 15 years now?

That's the ignition switch. Pretty much controls everything.
