    Cheaper than the stock one if you don't mind not having matching keys for the fork lock. You can put any key into the stock ignition spot, but you can only get the lock ring that fits from Husky. Might be a good alternative if you don't wish to splice the original part into the harness. :)

    Just got mine in today. Quick install, probably took 10 minutes and works great! I like the fact the key is the ATV style to keep the elements out. Makes me a "little" less worried parking it somewhere in town. I can post pics if anyone would like them. pretty straightforward install.

    The 2013 (and maybe 2012) aussie delivered bikes have an hydraulic pressure switch on the clutch, whereas the '11's don't Saw it at the dealers and wondered wtf it was, also noticed they've changed the reservoir lid on the '13's to mention DOT 5.1 fluid compatibility,

    Wow, must be new on the 13's but i really can't comment on the '13's as i haven't owned one yet, but my 12 310 didn't come with a pressure switch on the clutch.
    Now that i think about it before i rode Huskys i had a Yamaha wr250f that you had to pull the clutch in to start it, but that could be by passed by cutting the cable to the switch and joining the two wires together

    What functions does it give you? Does it turn the comp on and off?

    It disengages the starter button. So when the key is off and you hit the starter it does nothing. You turn the key on and you still have to hit the starter to get the dash to come up and the pump to prime. If you turn the key off while it is running it will shut off and the dash will stay on for a bit just like when you hit the kill button.

    Okay, so it just goes inline with the wiring to the starter and kill button then, cool, that's an easy fix. Mine is basically wired like that now. Since I had mine installed, Wayne Martin @ Malcolm Smith's has installed a Husky key ignition that turns the computer on, the efi, the pilot light headlight as well as an efi reset. I'm not sure what is involved in all that but I am going to feed 12v through my ignition to run a secondary computer and other accessories.

    I'm very interested in this. Does it fit in the stock location?

    Yes, it does. It comes with instructions and is very easy to install. Just drill out the cap in the stock location, and plug it in. Lancaster, there is really nothing to the install. Very straight forward. As for pictures, the finished product looks just like a 2011 with a stock keyed ignition.
