ignition switch broken

my bike shut down at a red light. I used my tools and time to find a wire had broken loose on the back of the ignition switch. The solder had deteriorated. A second wire popped off also. Is there a switch recall? Does anyone know a good source for a quality replacement. I could re-solder it but it feels worn anyway and I would feel better about a new one. JB weld got me home but barely, it already popped off again. This is the switch with the key.

Please ensure that your replacement switch was NOT manufactured by a GM supplier!

...GM Ignition switches... !!!

It must be nice to be so damn important you cant be fired ! ..let alone... hanged !

As for Big KAWK Ignition switches..I think I'd research what NAPA may have that I could use as a replacement for the OEM part... that's just to much $$$ for a switch !
