Bypass ignition switch?

Love the look of those push button switches. Might have to consider that on my 2004 Night Train project.
As for my original inquiry: The 2003 that left us waiting for a tow. Turns out it was a "circuit breaker" that was bad. I looked at the wiring diagram and it appears to be buried behind the battery compartment and looks difficult to get to. I'll have to learn more about that for my bike but my friend had his repaired at the dealer and was back on the road later that week.

Bought a switch and bracket (mine was just 2 wires) and spliced the power through the switch and back up to the button.
The button is a 3 wire (1's a ground for the light) and I never use AUX. so the button on the dash is just another on/off.
The key switch was an option I wanted so I could lock the power off and walk away.

What did you use to mount the switch

It’s mounted to a bracket underneath. It uses the same bolt pattern as the ignition switch. 8-32 x 1” with jam nuts to get the height correct.
I’ve also removed the ignition label and it’s chrome underneath so I went the a polished plate instead. The switch is held into the plate with a nut on the back.

The electronics that control the ON-OFF function and the alarm/ignition lockout system are sealed in the round black puck and can't be accessed. The button is a simple momentary switch and is held in the dome housing by a ring nut similar to one on a toggle switch only larger.
