Default FXSB ignition switch elimination???

OK, I use the Accell Coil packs, so I eliminated the "grenade. Then I had the ingenious idea of relocating the ignition switch to the belt guard. That worked great until today when I finished installing my Shotgun Shocks. With the bike slammed, it just doesn't leave enough room for where I had it. So here is my question, can I eliminate the ignition switch all together and run a hidden switch, be it a push button, toggle or rocker? If so, can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

Wonder if you could convert it to use the key fob like the cvo's?

Convert it to a toggle and mount it under the tank out of sight...

I like the idea, a toggle under the speedo ( maybe in the empty hole ) would be pretty bad ***. Walk up to the bike and tap under the speedo and start her up! Just need to find a good way to mount it so it doesn't hang down too low, as not to be seen.
