I've both helped and been helped by many folks on internet forums. Not this one but I've only been here a short while. I generally find bike folks to be pretty willing to reach out and help one another when/if they can.
That's funny, I totally wasn't even thinking that someone would actually be willing to help me out with doing it, I was just kinda saying hypothetically because I can be all thumbs sometimes... I'm in Chicago. I'm going to update my info. Thanks!

No rugged edges on my modified dash? When you don't have money to burn, it is the way to go.

ignition mod....
I moved mine up to the dash on my SG and its pretty easy.
In the neck of the bike you have to unclip the wiring harness (has 3 wires on it). Its a pain to get to but once uncliped you need to lengthen the wires so it will reach to the dash.
I had my local indy order a switch from HD that was keyed to my bike. It cost a little more ($100) than some other switchs but now my ignition and fork lock use the same key. It also gave me 2 additional keys.
Factory plug will plug into a HD switch not sure on others. Once up to the dash you will have to either cut a hole for the switch or do like I did and get a 2010 WG dash that has the hole. They are available in chrome or gloss black.
I will let someone that cut a hole detail that part.

I used a hole saw and got the rotary switch from ebay for $24 bucks. The wiring is a black connector in the neck. Mine was attached to the left side in the neck and was three wires. I pulled the wires out of the connector and used the stock connector and buttoned right up.
what was your hole saw size???? did you use anytype of gasket or grommet???
