No problem with the ignition switch, but there are other issues: The front brake master cylinder mount is different on the LTD vs. the standard (to keep it level despite the design of the apehangers). So you'll either accept that fact (don't know how it affects brake performance), or switch to a J style master cylinder. You'll also need to make sure the new bars are wide enough to fit the switches/clutch/brake/mirrors/turn signals.

You might be able to get these to drag if you mount them upside down, but it seems to me like this isn't a good idea. Why would you want them to drag? :whistle:
