Well, last night, I looked at my ignition switch from the '94, and matched it to the wiring harness of the '95... They are incompatible, and I did not know or notice this until last night

The '94 uses a 5 wires, and the '95 uses 7...

So, I "made" $58 on selling the entire set ( after fees and shipping ), and a replacement 7 wire set up - for just the ignition, will cost around $45. The best part, I will now have 3 keys for the finished bike ( ignition, fuel, seat & helmet )
Be careful with aftermarket ignition switches. Some don't have the resistor in the wiring from what I read. If you have that problem let me know I can send you a free resistor as I got 100 of them for my project.
