    The sticker came off my ignition switch, the circular sticker that goes around it. It doesn't look like you can buy this separate, so I think I have to buy part 35106-MCW-L60. Does anyone know how difficult it would be to replace this part? It looks like its secured by a screw from the backside of it.

    The ignition switch is secured to the underside of the top triple clamp with two 8mm bolts.

    To remove those two bolts requires a special tool called a T40 Torx bit. Just a heads-up Signal,those two bolts are slathered in high strength Loctite and are "FAT torqued" into that top triple clamp. They can be removed but they are difficult.

    ("FAT torqued" = Freakin'-A-Tight torqued)

    Thanks, but looking at the picture you posted with the arrow, wouldn't I want to remove the bolt directly above that one? The "cover" looks to be held on by two bolts. Are you saying I should remove the ignition switch, then remove the cover? I was hoping maybe there is a way to just remove the cover.

    Sorry my bad Signal,I've got it now you're replacing just the beauty cover and not the entire ignition switch. :redface:

    In that case yes all you have to do is remove the two 5mm bolts that hold the beauty cover on and remove it. Piece of cake.
