Ignition switch partsSeems like ignition switches are falling apart pretty regularly again. I had the one on #0711 come apart while travelling at low speed...and it
WASN'T the butterfly that broke, believe it or not! The two Allen retaining screws backed out and the whole butterfly assembly fell out against my leg and dropped to the floorboard, where I caught it with my foot.
I was able to retrieve all of the parts (spent a hour in the street with a magnetic pick-up tool) EXCEPT for the two little, tiny detent pins and springs. I was able to reassemble the switch, but I have to slip a tie-wrap over the butterfly to keep it from flopping back to the "OFF" position while riding down the road. I know most of the current retrofit switches replace the whole cylinder with a more common switch, so if anyone has spare "leftover" parts from a switch rebuild, please let me know.
Thanks!
