I went back with keys!!!
Bottom line; Remove the bars, Remove the nut, loosen the top pinch bolts, remove the cable holder once the triple is loose and WALLA - Flip it over and secure it too the fork leg. It is now stable for drilling or grinding or punching. Pick your battle. I didn't want sparks flying or I would have slotted it. There is ample room to slot and NOT cut into the triple. Also the harness is long enough to flip and secure it.
Fork Stanchion Holding Triple for drilling process:
DRILL IT! NOTE: there are vent holes in the bottom of the switch. I covered them with tape before drilling the second bolt out. Those chips don't belong in the switch!
DONE! Notice Magnet in the paper bag collecting chips!
Now to powder coat.. .. ..
