I made the tool from a thin piece of steel folded over a couple times. Copper pipe also works. I wouldn't wait for the tool. As for that dealer, you should post the name, and never deal with them again.

This is what mine looks like, and it works.

I will say all dealerships are not the same. My local dealership will barely give you the time of day. I rode to the upstate of South Carolina from my home in the midlands of SC last weekend. Got there and mashed down on the toe shifter which proceeded to go all the way to the floor board. Limped in to Greenville Harley and not only did they come out and look at it in the parking lot, agree with my proposed repair to make it home, but loaned me the tools from the shop for me to fix it in their parking lot. They even came out and made sure I didn't need any help and made suggestions as to how to correctly fix the problem knowing I wasn't gonna pay anyone to fix it as I do all the work I can to my bike myself. So I spent a whole $17 to by the part to fix my problem when I got back to my shop. That's customer service.

Even looking with the flash light and can be corrected with just reinserting the ignition to align it all up.

I made one out of copper tubing for when I installed my new bars. It worked great!

RottnRam....

That's a nice tool there.

Looks like a piece of all-thread, heated, hammered flat and ground to shape???

that's my best guess.

Do a search on the net. They have one for 25 dollars that works like a charm. I have used it on my '13 SG several times. If you want to work on your bike and it involves removing the ignition, then this is a MUST have tool in the garage. Other people posting videos of 13 bikes, so I guess it is the same, cant tell you for sure. I learned this the hard way and I ended up having to use a long screw drievr in order to unlock my bars. Just had to keep playing with it in order to get the ignition to fall into place to all the bars to unlock. I never could get the ignition to align so the ignition switch could go back in.
