Default Key switch out of time

I was putting on my new handelbars last night when for some reason or another I put the switch back in and turned it a little to see if the power would come up but it wouldn't, well I just pulled it back out and finished the installing the bars, after the install I started to put the key switch back in permanent and [:@], I almost lost it, I knowed what I had done, I worked over a hour to get that silly thing back where all the switch's line up so the key switch would fall back into place and lock back in, , I know it's my fault but man that was a pain in the ole rectom to fix.
Any who the bars are on and man what a difference, feels like a differnt bike, I'll have to learn to ride that beast all over again.

Out of curiosity, which bars did you install and were you able to use the stock cables?

Just looking at your SG. I should be getting mine in March. Looking at your seat I see that you changed, which model did you use? Does your better half find It comfortable? Is the backrest removable? Man i cant wait to ride.

Thanks

I used the touring pull back handelbar, part # 55914-98, no I didn't have yo buy any cables, had to reroute the clucth cable though, pain in the rear to get the bracket off that holds the clucth lever on, but after that, I had to rebend the brake line a little to get it to stretch out, not the best looking in the world but it will do for a brake line I guess, other than that and the misque with the key switch not bad at all.

Pierre-

The seat is made by Mustang. It's their one-piece smooth touring seat, p/n 75464. I got it through M&M Cycles for about $320 if I remember correctly. It is extremely comfortable for both me and my wife. It take a lot of the harshness out of the stock SG ride (caused by the lowered suspension).

The backrest is the Harley detachable - straight out of the catalog. The stock seat sucks, but then again, so do the stock seats on most bikes. Even the stock seat on my Gold Wing was lousy.
