Well done. Nothing beats the 'I did it feeling'.
Switch is broken, you can see where it's been glued, my guess is that the wire is to support the wiring plug as the glue wasn't strong enough to do the job. Looks like you'll be needing a new ignition switch.
Emgo do a replacement plastic switch part but get the correct one as there are two different ones.Some people on here decry emgo but i have used their parts for many years with few failures. You can find an Emgo catalogue on line.

Let's see, step one: "remove the speedometer set screw." Easy enough. Hmm, the recess looks pretty small, what size allen wrench is that? None of mine fit. Wait, where's my damn glasses, that doesn't look quite right: (Attachment Link) Wha? Quick forum search for that set screw... oh. So this is how it's going to be, huh? (sighs...)I found the speedo cable set screw in the parts book... Frame Group, Block #2A, Ref. #437, Part #93700-05016-0A, "screw, oval, 5x16". I can't find the tach cable set screw in the parts book. I declared earlier that I had read somewhere that they're the same screw, but not sure now where I came by this info. Can anyone confirm whether they're in fact the same screw?
