Forks locked key lost bought new after market ignition switch . is there any way to unlock it by picking it or drilling it
Simplest way is to go to a dealer, give him the VIN number and get the correct key to fit both lock and ignition switch. A new set of keys is cheaper than a steering lock and ignition key, even aftermarket ones.

Look under the switch knob for a small square pin sticking down. You need to push this pin up while turning the key to the left, and pushing this pin in will allow the lock cylinder to turn which releases the tab that holds the entire ignition knob into the bike. I usually push this tab with one of those small pocket screwdrivers. re-Installing the switch can be a real pain unless you make sure not to move anything while it is out, and even then the first time will be rather frustrating. Let me know if you need more help re-installing it.

You need the complete front end including the wheel. The FXDWG is somewhat of an oddball in that a lot of parts fit only that bike. A lot of other parts will not fit a Wide Glide. This even applies to the exhaust system.
Measure the diameter of your upper fork tubes, they're 39 mm tubes. The Wide Glide uses 41 mm tubes. The Wide Glide also uses a 21" front wheel.

"The two small hydo lines entering it seem to be loose and spring loaded turn screw is also loose"
I think you're referring to the two throttle cables and the throttle lock screw on the bottom of the throttle mechanism.
The "run/stop" switch is located inside the switch housing on the throttle side. It has three wires running to it. If the switch does not work, it may be defective.
To replace the switch, you must remove the two bolt that hold the switch halves together. Carefully seperate the two halves. the "Run/Stop" switch is in the front half of the switch housing. The switch is held in by a couple of small screws. Remove the switch and unsolder the wires taking note of which wire goes where. Resolder the wires to a new switch and install the switch in the housing. Reassemble housing keeping it positioned up firmly against the front brake master cylinder. Check the throttle for proper operation prior to starting the engine.

On the front forks, you can change to a heavier fork oil. I run 30 wt. fork oil in my '94 FXDWG. On the rear, tighten the shocks up by adjusting the ring at the bottom of the spring. Turning the ring increases or decreases the preload on the spings depending on which way you turn the ring.
Good Luck
