The more I think about this idea, the more I like it. And I know it’s not foolproof. Nothing is. But! It’ll be nifty, and a little extra protection can’t hurt. I’ve seen quite a few bike stolen posts on my local Phoenix group. Some are trailered away, others, just screwdriver in the ignition. This could thwart that. Plus, I’ve got the tinkering bug. Anywho, I want to put a hidden switch inline with the kickstand switch and ground. It’ll be under a fairing panel, and only I will know of its existence. Plus all of you folks. This way, I don’t have to fart around with the ignition, and I can just add a little extra length to a ground wire basically. Then, hypothetically I can hear a would-be thief start it, and laugh hysterically while they stall repetitively and I walk out aiming for the chest. I've searched for security, kill switch and ignition. Not a whole lot. I'll let you guys know how it goes.

All: Just wanted to let you know that I had purchased a new disc break lock: https://www.amazon.com/Master-Lock-Brake-Shackle-8303DPS/dp/B0009V1WR0 The unit's locking mechanism stopped working while locked on the bike. I don't mean it froze in place or anything strange happened, it simply stopped working. The lock would turn without actually releasing the pin. I was stuck for over a week until I had it sawed off. I called Master Lock and emailed them to no avail - they sell defective products and offer 0 support. Check other reviews throughout the net to see similar concerns. Overall - a shoddy company with no ethics. Giving you guys the heads up to avoid Master Lock at all costs.
