You could always do some fab work and relocate your switch.

I have a long key chain holder (cloth) connected to the handle bars with a quick release at one end. My key has the other part of the quick release. Before I insert the key into the ignition, I connect the quick release together that way when I turn off the ignition, the key would not fall on the ground. This happened to me a few times during the first few days after delivery of the bike. I remove the key from the quick release and put it in my pocket after locking the fork. Works for me.

Relax, ride safely, and enjoy God's creations
