Check with Bigdogpartsking, same as Donna and Derek. They should have the keys and ignition that you need

If you remember the key number it makes it easier to track one down. If you have that give Josh a call at Gateway Big Dog ( Ross Bike Parts) 314 291-6333 he sometimes have extras from change overs. Tell him Steve B. with 03chopper sent you. It is not that costly or hard to change over the ignition.

Either order a replacement Big Dog switch from Derek and Donna (BigDorPsrtsKing) or use a replace switch like in this thread.

Okay i looked it up being that this was my deceased dads bike im not sure about the original key. But it seems like a 5t key i found a ignition on ebay and was wondering if its just plug and play or if i just order the blank key and bring it to a locksmith. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Big-Dog-Mo...SEAAOSw-mZZegXv:sc:USPSFirstClass!89130!US!-1

Yes that is a plug and play ignition switch. I would buy that in case your ignition is the original as some get loose over time and the key will fall out

There are many threads on batteries—bottom line: These systems need a strong battery that is kept charged. Of course there will be some outlier who get 5 years out of one battery, but the guys here will overwhelmingly advise that many electrical problems with these bikes are related to a weak battery.
You can buy a $200 Braille, or do what Blacktopper does—he buys a new HD battery every spring.
Happy riding on your legacy bike. Your Dad would be proud!
