Smile Ignition Switch

Hi all. I want to change the ignition switch on my XL1200v to one that can also start the bike (first click acc, second ignition, and turning further start) I won`t have any problem sorting out the wiring but I would need a switch that fits in the original Harley fitting. Has anyone done this before, I would appreciate any advice

With a little bit of filing out of the original switch housing, I used one of these and it worked well:

It looks like just what I need, I`ll have a look here in the UK to see if I can find an equivalent to save me the customs ****. Thanks for your help :-)

Yeah from what I can tell this one pops up under different branding on multiple motorcycle parts sites so hopefully you can find it. Cheers man!

I think the key switch idea is much better than the button on the solenoid mod. Good work, guys!
