Ignition switch relocation and amp rating

Ignition switch relocation and amp rating
I am doing a street fighter convertion, and am going to have to relocate the ignition switch. Does anybody have any idea?
Option 1 - relocate the stock switch. This isn't a good option because of the size of the ignition switch including the steering lock mechanism. Where could I mount this silly thing without it looking out of place? Not my favorite option.
Option 2 (preferred) - put an aftermarket switch in an alternate location. There are a couple decent looking options out there. In looking at the wiring schematic, it appears that there is quite a load that goes through the ignition switch. Anybody have any idea what the current rating of the switch would be? Anybody use an aftermarket switch that works well?
Option 3 - I could use a toggle switch and hide it somewhere where it can't be easily identified. This is the least secure option, however I don't have much of security issue where I live or ride. Again, what kind of rating would I need?
Any ideas would be appreciated.

I have a 929/954 front end with 1 1/8 fat bars. I am using a headlight assembly that will sit nice and tight up against the forks and upper triple clamp, and the ignition switch is just in the way. I could use a bracket to push it out, but there are two problems with that; I don't like the way it looks space out that much, and the Acewell that I intend to use will be more difficult to fit. For the cleanest, most desirable build, I have to relocate the ignition switch. I already cut the ignition mounting bracket off of the top triple, so I am committed to the relocation effort.
I have found a lot of good looking aftermarket options, I just don't know about the amp rating.
Thanks for any information!
