Default 12 road glide forks locked

So I've got a 2012 road glide and I'm swapping the bars on it. The forks got turned all the way left and locked. I've played with the ignition, taken it out-put it in. Nothing. I've got the ignition alignment tool and still nothing. When I put the ignition switch back in, it feels normal but when I try to turn it, theres a lot of resistance. The tumblers all appear to be lined up but no luck. I've watched all the videos posted here and believe I've read just about every post on this. Anybody have any other tricks before I try to load this damn thing on the trailer and drag it to a dealership??? Thanks.

Put the ignition alignment tool in the ignition, pull/push the forks left beyond the locked position (even though they’re already locked in that position) and the turn the ignition tool as you pull the forks back to the right out of the locked position.

My friend had his ignition do the same thing. I just grabbed the left grip and yanked it a few times so it would hit the stop. Then I pulled the left grip again while unlocking the forks and everything freed up. I think the fork lock just got wedged a little bit.
