Then the little fucker ate my key!
I have been carrying a blank in my wallet for months, intending to drop into a a locksmith and get a copy made. As you might have guessed, it is still a blank, but now I don't have the original. Do I need to buy a whole new lock set, is there something a locksmith can do? Or do I need to invest in some rubber gloves?

Might be time for a visit to the vet+1, for an xray to confirm he actually swallowed the key.

That leaves two questions, 1) how to get the ignition barrel off, and 2) how to do it in a way that I can put it back on again.

The ball ache is access unless you remove the top yoke. :'(
Not sure about the electrical connection on a thou but the 600 plugs are in a box under the tank.

I am actually (sort of) glad I started, as the main ignition power connector had rotted, turned bright green and broken! While disconnecting it, half the plastic fell away and the metal tang separated. It was going to fail on me very soon anyway and probably somewhere really bloody awkward, so failing now while it is in the shed is probably as good as it gets. Next time you have the tank up, peel back the shroud that covers all the connectors from the forks and have a look. You might be fine, but a blast of wd40 might help postpone some heartache.

Damage the pup? I doubt it. One of the funniest things I have seen in a long time was a couple of weeks ago. The puppy was doing his business and had a foot long turd hanging from his arse (he eats long grass) when he was distracted by a cow in the next field. Naturally he turned to bark at the cow only to be smacked on the side by his own turd! So he turned again to bark at the turd only for it to whack him on the other side. It took three or fours whacks for him to realise that he had to stop, finish his business, and then he could bark at the cow. I nearly threw up I was laughing so hard.
I'm killing myself laughing! Brilliant.
