Default Changing the key location

I've got a 2001 FXDXT Dyna with the key under the seat (right side). Has anyone ever moved it to better location. I ride two up 99% of the time and that location sucks bad! Thought I'd see if anyone else felt the same. I know I could buy a new tank with the ignition up top but I was thinking of something a little cheaper. Thanks folks!

Some guys have located it where the horn is, a simple plate is all the is needed, and re-run the wires, should be a fairly easy mod.

Yes, that search works pretty good! And I do appreciate you pointing that out. I haven't got used to searching yet! Newbie on here! Unfortunately The older Dyna Superglides don't have that raised dash like the FB's. No room for a switch like those. But 8541HOG gave me an idea that I might be able to incorporate. Thanks boys!
