Default Relocated SuperGlide ignition switch

I don't know if I'm the only one that feels like this, but I hate reaching under the seat to pot the key in the ignition. This is the bracket I made to relocate it to the bars. It's pretty clean looking and not too hard to do. Works good on Sportsters too.

I agree, it looks totally like it came out of the factory like that. Nice work.

Any chance I could get you to make me one?

I too like it.
What does it look like with a big wad of keys hanging out of it though?
Just to keep things in balance a shot of the key ring would be nice because that is what you will be staring at while you putt down the road......pg
