rocker grenade
Want to switch the grenade on my 08 for a newer style one that you don't have to leave the key in. Local dealer says I can't because the neck lock is somehow incorporated into the grenade. Thought there was someone who did the upgrade.

There is no connection between the ignition lock and fork lock, that I know of.
If you come up with a simple alternative to the grenade lock with the "self-ejecting key" though, I'd like to know about it. (the key has a tendency to fall out onto the ground when in the "off" or "acc" position)

I've put the wide glide trees on my bike & the only thing the ignition & neck lock have in common is the are keyed alike.
I use a key chain with a clip that I clip to the plug wires so the key doesn't fall on the ground.

It would be great to hear back on something for this. I'm also interested in something that looks better.

It's possible that the new-style grenade (like on the Breakout) does have a provision for an automatically activated fork lock. I haven't looked at one closely to see. I'll look for that next time I see one. Or have any Breakout owners read this thread who can comment?

Grind the nub off the end of your key. That is what keeps the key in when ignition is on. Then you can turn on the ignition and throw the key in your pocket to ride. Just remember to take the key out of your pocket and turn the ignition off when you park.
