what the guys in South Africa do

get your self a clutch lever from a kicker that has a hot start lever.
move your reverse cable to this and put your ignition switch in the place your reverse lever used to be.
you N and R lights you can move them to were ever you please.

i'll take a picture of a KFX 400 that has this done, to show you how.

i have asked the guy to take some close up pic's of both
(lever and ignition) i would thing the best one to use on a ex would be from the 450r

this way you should be able to keep your park break.

Hey Mak400ex

decided to do the mod myself on my 05 ex
easy to do.
get your self a complete lever/perch for a CRF 450R this has the hot start lever and get your self a longer cable made about 40 - 50 cm longer and try get the cable maker to use the connections on the original cable.
to move you ignition
the ignition fits perfectly into the reverse mount (the black plastic fitting) use the metal plate on the bottem of your reverse switch as a template and make your self an new one but with a hole for the ignition body to fit through. it's all a tight fit that suits this fine.
you might have to use some rubber spacers/washers for the gap behind the reverse mounting when you tighten your new back plate to the mounting.
