Well, everything is back to normal now :)

Zero EU sent me a replacement kit for free (!!!) right away due to my situation being a bit special (no dealers here in Sweden anymore) and I'm guessing they might have felt a bit sorry for me.  Awesome service (and quick)!  Replacing the switch was actually fairly straight forward in the end.

Now there are a couple of rfid kits in the mail (scorpio and DGD) as well as a DC-to-DC (well, actually AC, but I'll trust the Doc!) power supply.  Looking forward to that project.

Now I think I'm going to chat with some local dealers, show them my bike and the new 2015 line and ask... how'bout it? ;)  Actually already talked to one that's at least interested in checking out the bike.  I think this year was bad timing for a dealer to be stepping out of the game - but I guess I'm a bit biased.

I have all my parts at home right now ;) Trying to find some time to put it on. I think the total cost will be about $30 when done but I will have to look at the parts list when complete.

I use a BULL lock that goes through the rear spokes.
It sounds a large siren when it is disturbed and it sends a wireless signal to its pocket remote I carry with me.
Your situation would never had happened if you had made this investment.
I recommend everyone use this solution on any motorcycle.

Thanks for the heads up SoundMusic.  This looks pretty interesting and I'm sure you're right that this wouldn't have happened. I still feel pretty stupid/naive after this whole thing.  On the positive side I still have the bike and I have learned a lot about it since.  Right now when I park away from home I'm using a disc lock on front and a thick chain on the back through the frame+tire... usually in a closed parking garage... with security cameras.  My plan is to install an rfid system over the winter but if that doesn't work out, I'll definitely take your suggestion.

Dual disk locks (front and rear) is my minimum security, the tank bag is big enough to also hold a chain lock, so its not unusual for me to take one of them along with me as well.

I'm looking for keyed-alike disk locks.  Have you found such?

FYI there is a newer thread discussion about OP's bike that did get stolen. (1)
