I met a guy...been a few years ago....he wired his aux switch into his ignition. The bike would not start unless the aux switch was "OFF". He called it his 'hillbilly' anti theft.
Of course, he parked the bike with the switch in the "ON" position...
(switches are funny like that)

Bingo. I'm thinking about a 12-v plug because I think it's awesome I can charge my cell phone while riding. These touring bikes are the ****!!

I knew a guy years ago that had a car he put a lot of work into - His Hillbilly antitheft was the ashtray. It had to be pushed in or pulled out, I can't remember, or the car would not start.
