    HD will probably charge you a arm and a leg to replace it, perhaps a Automotive Locksmith.

    it sounds like a mechanical problem with the ignition. I would try wd40 before I went to the mech. cant hurt.

    sorry about the bum steer j. I thought you were saying the switch itself wouldn't turn. (locked) keep us informed. I would have thought that if you hotwired it with the ignition disconnected and it fired then the ignition switch would be the problem. let us know how you go
