Default 96 Sportster–Ignition Switch Location Options Please

Hey Guys - I plan to relocate the ignition switch on my 1996 Sportster, and wish to see what others have done regarding location and methods of attachment. Thanks

Different frame than your '96. I wanted to put it behind the seat, like an old Dyna, but it wound up in front of the seat.

some people may call me dumb for this one, but I just took the key switch off and put a toggle switch hidden in the horn cover.

Did you install a 2 or 3 (accessory) position switch?

Yes, the Flex-Six ignition relocation will fit your 02 Sporty. Click HERE

We will also have a coil relocation kit to fit your 02 in January 2012.
