Does this mod also come with a sign that says "Steal my Bike!"? lol.

I'm assuming this is more useful for people who have a track dedicated bike?

As long as you didn't advertise it on your street bike no one would know you'd bypassed the key.

I heard of another rider doing a similar mod, though using a hidden toggle switch vs the run/stop. Kept the key as a backup.

Very clever idea. Since i am always forgetting to turn the key off after stopping the bike with the switch, might keep this in mind for a future project.

LOL yeah this is for the track day guys and dont worry unless someone is willing to pop the tank of your bike to do some wiring modifications I dont think anyone will be able to quickly steak your bike.

Be careful with this wiring. You now have all the amperage the bike requires running through the handle bar switch. If you are running lights this can be more than that little switch was designed to handle. Ask GM they know what can happen.
