Default Ignition switch won't lock

I have a 2007 street glide and I can't get the ignition switch to lock 🤬🤬🤬🤬
You can lock it with the key and it can still be turned on

Did you recently remove the ignition assy, or was/is this an issue that just occurred?

Either way, search for touring ignition re-assy...happened to many...the cams aren't properly aligned.

Can you line it up w/o tool? Dealer worked on mine and its never been the same. PITA to get it to work, took it back, they said its right, still a hit and miss where before it worked perfectly.

As mentioned, it's possible the switch is out of alignment. Get the tool, or a screwdriver, and align the cams in the switch housing, then the ignition switch **** should be able to be installed and work properly...there are videos that show this process...

Just an FYI...... in case your problem is more than a one time cam/tumbler misalignment...

I had an issue, with a newer model ignition switch, on a bike I bought used... I have no idea what the prior owner did to abuse the switch, but it never felt crisp and it would often over rotate and the cams got all messed up on a couple of occasions. Your ignition switch is similar, in that it is comprised of two main parts. The Ignition switch housing (#71572-06) and the Ignition Switch **** (#71532-03). The **** is key specific, and it's made of metal. The switch housing can be easily replaced and has a lot of plastic. They may be made that way so misuse/abuse will damage the switch housing before the switch ****.

With my problem, the metal, key-specific **** was in good shape. The plastic ignition housing had all sorts of gouges in the plastic and wear marks around the cam/tumbler shaft. I replaced the ignition switch housing, keeping the same ignition switch **** (and thus same key), and the ignition now works crisply and I've had no further problems...
