In this video, I show you how to remove the ignition switch from your Harley-Davidson touring model. I then show you how to put it back on. At times, the Harley ignition can come out of alignment when removing the switch and the shaft won’t go back in or is stuck inside. I teach you how to completely remove your Harley ignition.
Further, I show you how to take the entire unit apart and fix the alignment problem. There’s no need to take your Harley to a mechanic for this and you can do it yourself. There is also a Harley ignition specialty tool that can help fix the issues and I'll show you how to use it.

I made my ignition alignment tool by taking a 7″ piece of 3/8″ copper tubing and bending it into an “L” shape. I then used a hammer and flattened one end of the tubing. It now drops in easily and I can use it to align everything. Total cost-nothing.
Juan,

Not sure if I missed it but when u had your key on the ignition part and putting it back together, what position did u have the key ? U had clicked it back together but I didn’t hear what position I had your key…thanks
Pull out and replace in the lock position. Make sure to pull straight out and put it back in straight.

Excellent video! Very informative and you covered a manual alignment (per se) of the various ignition components and the use of the alignment tool as well. This was very helpful! Thanks much for all the time and effort into making this video and for all the close-up work on the ignition, components, and providing the narrative as well! All the Best, Ride Safe. DJ
Thank You. Saved my arse.
