    How do I disassemble the ignition? I need to get the ignition cylinder out of the ignition housing, so I can swap them (did an R to S front end swap).

    Robin - I'm not going to call him until Monday. Don't want to bother him on a long weekend.

    I am gathering parts to do same swap. Where are you going to mount key switch when done. I am staying with bolt fairing if I can. So far looks like lightning bars will clear windshield. I am looking for ideas on mounting key.

    Did this get figured out? I'm doing an S to R swap right now and would like to just swap the ignition switch internals as well (tumbler assembly) if it's possible.

    Anyone?
