your best bet it to order back threw the dealer, but they should offer some kits for the bike threw after-market company's like partsunlimited, lp "lockhart Phillips", and maybe tucker rocky street, at a better price but you may have to buy some parts extra it may not come in a complete kit like the factory offers.

SOURCE: need to take lock cylinder out

You will need the lock in the off position but not in the park position. With bike in park it will not allow you to move steering head from side to side. Disconnect battery. From underneath you will have to remove the bolts holding the lock in place. You will need a 3/8ths drive and extensions. I believe it's a 10mm socket but I may be off by a millimeter or 2. Remove bolt(s) on one side then turn steering head to other side and remove bolts there. Pull down lock out of steering head and disconnect connector. Installation is reverse of removal.
