Re-locate ignition switch.

Elliot Cannon
I have a '75  CB750 with the ignition switch under the forward left side of the fuel tank.  Has anyone re-located it up on the handle bars between the speedo and tach?  Easy?  Difficult?  I'd love not to have to lean down to turn the key on.  I'm not lazy.  Just old.  
             Cheers,   Elliot

If you can, Make a bracket like this one on mine.  Switch hard to see but is there.

Thanks.  Are the existing wires long enough or did you have to lengthen them?

I had to replace the wiring harness and switch but the stock one fit so I assume it will reach.  Something like this maybe?
