Fork lock locked up won't unlock - 2000 Harley Davidson FLHTCUI Electra Glide Ultra Classic

I don't know if this will help. It was sent to me by a friend of mine and I've never tried the procedure. I do not work on these ignition switches and fork locks. This is for a newer model but it may help. Good Luck. Steve
