I swapped out my bars today and am literally ten minutes from done and am stuck dead cold in the water! I cannot get the ignition switch to reinstall. I have followed the manual procedure a dozen times. It just won't go. What is the secret?
Bike is an 08 Road Glide. At one point when adjusting the bars, the forks locked when I cranked the bars all the way left. this was after the switch had been removed obviously. I was able to get the switch partially in and unlock the forks at that point but didn't really think anything about it except I was glad my forks weren't stuck locked. I went about the rest of the job and got to almost the last thing which is the switch install now this. Switch goes in halfway but won't go the rest of the way.
Can anybody help?
PLEASE!
I have no idea where to turn or what to try.
I found a video, not "the video" I think. Anyhow, got it but don't ask me how. That guy sure makes it look easy in the video, almost like an infomercial...
Ypu lmpw how they make all that crap look so damn easy?
