Automotive style ignition switch?

[MotorbikeBruno]

not to bring this back from the dead... but has anyone successfully done this? would be nice to eliminate a start button

Tons of times. Usually it's a simple "mistake" that keeps you from getting it right away. Look at your wiring diagram for your bike. It shows a hot line coming in to the switch, and then which lines are hot going out. Last time I remember something like you have to have the hot line going in run to the "starter" position AND the run position or it will feed one or the other, causing problems when your coils aren't getting any electricity.
