How To Manually Align Your Ignition Components On A 2016 Street Glide Special. 

Definitely the best video on fixing the ignition alignment, extremely informative with great detail. Thank you.

Best video yet regarding the ignition switch. I have had such a hard time with replacing it every time I have done it. Never had the HB's moved on me after I removed the switch. No idea about the alignment in the switch! Thank you for sharing this! Perfect!

Thanks for the informative video, saved me from taking my Ultra Limited to the dealership since i was able to fix it myself with your video

i just changed out the bars on my 2017 fltrx and did the same thing, i removed the ignition and and moved the bars and scrambled the inner tumblers. i simply took a flashlight and looked in the hole and stuck a screw driver in and could see when i clicked the tumblers into line it took probably 15 minutes of screwing with it and my switch dropped right in. i recommend trying that first, patience is key when doing this and i guarantee you'll get it.

Thank you so much for this very informative vidio. I was stressing out on how I'm going to get it aligned. Very much appriciate your help.

Thanks for the video and the "how to" had to re align the ignition switch after not re installing the key cylinder and rod in correctly. Could not have done it with out your instructions

FYI, you can use a small flat blade screwdriver to get the security torx screws out. Small enough to get past the post and into the star points. :)

Thank you so much for the explanation of how to do this.

I just went through this in a parking lot. I was able to realign everything with a long screwdriver without removing the assembly from the bike but it took me about two fricken hours. Here is a tip for others. I found that when I went to unlock the Ignition after returning to the bike I was pushing downward on the switch causing it to rotate the tumbler just past the lock position and that would cause the key portion to pop off of the switch. I now know to just put he key in and turn the key toward off being careful not to push down on the key and that will not happen. Before I learned this I had this happen where the key portion would pop off but it did not come out of alignment. Just this last time did that happen. I bought a red alignment tool on line that I will keep in my saddlebag now and that should assure me that it won't happen again. I will also put in a tamper proof torx set like yours so in the worst case I can remove the whole assembly and take it apart like what you did. The tool I bought only cost me $11.00 so it is worth it to me. I feel confident I can align everything up using that tool should it happen again. This is a really crap for a design by H-D. There is no excuse for it IMO. This is causing unnecessary hardship for many owners. I wonder how many have had to have someone come out and help or have the bike towed to a dealer for this? In my case I could not even have it towed because the steering was locked. Thanks for this informative video!

Very good video. Was having problems with this issue, and no other video explained it like you did. Thank you.

Thank you I'm still trying to without pulling the complete ignition I'm going to try a few more times and then I think I'm going to do it your way. Bought like this previous owner messed it up

I just did this on my SG. Video was a huge help!

Great job on this video. Very helpful!

Great job on saving me from calling a HD mechanic. going to try this today.

Great video! You cleared up a lot of frustration!

Thanks for the help

Very helpful, thank you !

One of the best videos on this task. Thank you so much. Saved my but far far from home.

You're a life saver!

This video saved my butt, thanks so much for sharing

Thanks buddy i give it a try 😊

I've done this before checking this video , but very informative. Any idea why With switch off,neutral, oil and security lamp are on. Bike is centered on lift and key fob close but may need a new battery . I thought I'd ask before replacing the battery on the fob and getting bike all together

Was very very easy to do. Your video was very helpful.

Thanks

Only Harley-Davidson could come up with something so ridiculous.

So I did everything you did and everything works as should but when I turn my knob to the lock (all the way to the right) the key pulls right out witch is how I ended up in this situation to being with and now the knob turns but it seems harder to turn then usual and help? Thanks

Great video, thank you sir! One question, on my 2019 Streetglide special the bigger of the 2 springs was not installed. My Ignition is a little differnt in that the cover with the copper slider is transparent... Is it an upgrade or was it a factory mistake? Thanks, Dan

I did the same thing on my road glide. The forks are currently locked and I don’t have the ignition alignment tool. When you removed the ignition did it unlock the forks? I am getting rid of mine all together with the new bar setup.

Next time, and I may be wrong...think of the tool as a key, and each of those pieces with balls are each a lock, align each one with each other, from top to bottom - all 3 the same orientation

You said there’s the top, middle, and bottom parts. What is that bottom part called.
