Why would my 2006 FLHTCUI have a International Ignition switch. (Hawaii bike).

 

May have been importaed from an Asian country, or Australia.

My Fatboy came from Hawaii, and has a regular switch.

 

How do I find out where the bike came from and does it make a differance is the International made bad?

 

Take a look at your VIN - bikes made for the US start with "1", International is "5".

 

Did that, Vin is a 1 ?

 

When you say "international ignition switch", what does that exactly mean? I lived in Europe for 4 years and never noticed a difference - appearance-wise, anyway?

 

OK here we go I'm not a Harley Mechnic So I use a repair manual and I can fix pretty much anything with it so I orderd a new Ignition Switch and went to work in the manual it has a domestic switch and a internation Switch. I disconected the top of the ingnition (key) then I removed the Fairing looked in side and lo-a behild a internation ignition was staring back at me, the are very distinctive the Domestic modle has three wires coming out the back with a plug on the end, the international has a socket on the back of the ingnition switch. so you got me I was just woundering Why?

 

ks6c: your right they don't look different form the outside the only way to tell is when you take it apart.

 

Ok so harley had the wrong Part number listed in there book squared away know got the right ignition and know I'm back on the rode
