DIY Keyless ignition/remote start

Yeah, I took my ignition for aesthetic reasons, but that wasn't necessary.
If you leave the ignition in place, then everything would still work as factory, except you could push a button instead of turning your key. (IE if you lost the FOB or your battery went flat you could still use the key) The kill/side stand/neutral/clutch switches all work as designed.
Basically you have a box that you feed power from the battery. The box normally sends a pulse of power out of one of it's wires when you press one of the buttons (press the lock button, it pulses 12v to trigger the door lock motor e.t.c) . It's easy to make that so it acts like an electric 'switch' so when you push a button it turns on, and when you push it again it turns off. you mount this box next to the battery, and then you use the on/off 'switch' output to feed power into the wires next to the battery going into the fuse box.
so, 2 terminals on the battery, tap into 2 wires just near the fuse box (the ignition and fan circuits are separate for some reason), some re-wiring to turn the keyless-entry box into a remote switch and Robert's your cousin's brother.
It's identical to the M-lock except instead of a RFID token you swipe near the sensor, you push the button. I was going to use RFID on mine, but couldn't find anything with enough range. You could build something like the M-lock for the same price of the keyless entry system if you would rather go that way.
Jarvid if you are interested I can do a write-up, I'll just buy a new kit (something more common on ebay) so the pictures are a little more relevant.
