I am in process of installing new bars on my 18 roadglide and my wheel turned on me and Now it’s locked in place even though it is on unlock?
can anyone help me on this issue please
thanks greatly

 

Is ignition in or out?

 

Happened when I did mine too. One of your internal tumblers in your ignition is probably out of alignment. There are a few ways to fix it...1) there are tools that you can get on Amazon that will fix it in about 10 seconds. Problem is that you have to wait for it and spend about $50. 2) there is a video on YouTube that shows you how to create one using some copper pipe. I tried and couldn’t make it work, but I’m not super mechanically inclined. 3) what worked for me finally (have patience, they will align) was to use a couple flathead screwdrivers that were different sizes. The smaller one aligned the inner tumblers and the bigger one the outer.

 

Do yourself a favor, invest in one of these. Potentially saves hours of fumbling around and frustration with screwdrivers and other half-baked methods of alignment.

 

I watched the u tube and made mine with the suggested copper pipe. I have used it many times. It works perfect

 

Same here, works great and never had any issues

 

Here's the video they speak of. I had similar issue and made the copper tool as well, works every time!

Just saw this, STOP. I had this happen last week when I did my bars(you can search my post on KST Spearheads) Anyhow start by just pulling out the ignition, then pull the ignition housing 2 allen bolts and 1 connector. Then install your ignition switch and move it back n forth just a bit until it seats down completely. I cannot explain why, but mine would not seat until I pulled the ignition housing unit out the then put the ignition switch w/rod back in, again cannot tell you why but it seated right back in place. Then reinstalled the entire assembly. I just bought this set the has the Torx you need if you have to completely pull it apart $19.00 shipped from Flea Bay LOL

 

Curious as to why you pulled the lock. I have done two limiteds a 2016 and 2017 and never had to touch the lock?

 

I never pulled my ignition or did anything to it other than the bottom tab so I could remove gauge cluster
the homemade tool you guys speak of will work on newer models?
i have heard they only work on older than 14s
thx
