Lowered ignition switch

I misplaced my keys and searched everywhere without any luck, so I removed the ignition switch.  That night while I was at work, my wife called and told me that she had found the keys!  This morning, I reinstalled the switch with longer bolts and stand-offs in order to make it more flush with the top clamp.  My buddy pointed out that the fork lock will not work with the switch lowered, but it wasn't working anyway.  When we installed the fork brace we had shortened the steering travel, so the steering locking point is never reached.  He told me too grind a slot for the lock but I never had.
