Ignitiion Switch Removal
Need to tighten the handlebars on my `02 Ultra. Got great assistance from you guys. Cudos toPapaTravis in particular for sending in thisgreat "how to" picture instruction set. (http://www.kenandjudy.us/Harley%20Pictures/ElectraGlideBars/index.htm).
My problem is that I can't get the ignition switch out all the way. I was able to find the "hidden button" under the switch and able to turn the ignition key counterclockwise to the 6 o'clock position. This, however,only allows the ignition switch to pop up about 1/4". I will not come out the rest of the way.
Anyone else experiencethis problem?

RE: Ignitiion Switch Removal
At that point the switch should almost pop off in your hands. Are you pressing down on the switch while holding the magic button underneath and using the key to swing the ignition all the way over counter clockwise. not sure if it has to make it all of the way to 6 o'clock but once you past acc the whole swicth should just pop up and then just pull it up and out. Be sure to pay careful attention to how it all comes apart, there is a spring in there and a few other small parts. They need to go back on in the rigtht order or the ignition won't work.
Good luck!!

Yeah there should be nothing else holding the switch in if it moved up a little bit,maybe wiggle it a bit. You can also get to the bolts by removing the radio it takes a little more time,but if you remove the radio be sure you first pull the connector off under the radio that attaches in between the risers,if you dont you can break the tab that locks that connector in...ask me how I know...
