ignition re-assembly trouble
thought I was nearing the finish line with my Twin Peaks install....when I put ignition in last night and hooked battery back up....turned bike on...NO power at all security light was on....ignition went to all positions but felt like was free play in it....took it back out.....could not get it to go back in...found tumblers inside were out of alignment...re aligned them.....ignition went right back in but it locks and the bars however are NOT locked...ignition is in lock position but bars still move freely....any suggestions...I searched other threads and watched those youtube clips but no one really talks about situation like this...

, you beat me to it. once you get the tumblers lined up the ignition will go right in.

Nope. Just put it back with them straight. If you look, the tumblers have a fat and skinny side. start from the top and slowly work your way down making sure they are all where they belong.

For the record, I bought the 25.00 tool...It makes this job SO much easier. I don't even have a bike that has that style ignition. I do enough of them that it's nice to have around though...

Worse case scenario, I'll be in Daytona on Friday morning. I could bring the tool and fix it there real fast!
