You can't get it to the fork lock position? Is the front wheel straight? Please dont tell the class you are going to put Apes on a Bat.

Ok the front wheel is straight , but I thought if you remove the ignition then turn the handle bars the tumblers won’t line back up. As I’m needing to remove switch panel as adding lights too .

The switch console can be removed without removing the ignition switch.

It’s easier if you have the tool to insert in or remove then remove the cover then reinstall the switch then straighten the wheel.

If you end up removing the ignition switch, do yourself a favor and order one of these to save yourself heartache and frustration. Yes, there will be people that chime in that did it with a screwdriver (which may require hours of frustration until you get lucky), or some McGiver type with too much time on his hands and created some whacky tool, but this is not expensive and it works.
