Ignition switch
I have a 1991 flhtp police special. The only key is broken off in the ignition. The bike starts and runs and all that but I can not get old broken key out. I brought it to a bike show and he couldn't either
My two questions are. How can I remove this ignition with out being able to turn the key, and does anyone know who still makes these ignition? I'm. Not happy that any idiot walking by can start my bike

the part that the key is inserted into can be removed from the bike. there's a square pin under it that has to pulled with a pliers and it will pull off. you may have to remove the fuel tank to get it off. you can take it to a lock smith to get the key out or replace it with a different one. your service manual will explain it.

You can take a coping saw blade and cut the end off with a pair of side cutters.. Snip it at a 45* angle to the blade. Insert it along side the broken key and twist it a little towards the key as you pulling it out. The teeth of the blade pointing upwards will grab the broken key and pull it out.. Does not always work the first time but i have removed many broken keys this way..
