Inside the on/off switch on the handle bar is a wire that simply grounds the ignition to the handle bars, which in turn kills the engine. So you just have to determine which is the "hot" wire, then run a wire from the "hot igniton wire" to the lead wire of the kill button. The button itself should be "grounded" through the bars once it's mounted, then when ever you push the "kill" button it will do the same thing your kill switch did and ground out the ignition.

If you want to get rid of the switch all together, simply follow the ignition grounding wire from ground wire in the kill switch up to the connector plug which is usually in or near the head light shroud. Then you run a wire from the connector plug in the head light to the new kill button on the handle bar, allowing you unplug the kill switch all together and remove the kill switch. But be aware that you'll probably also lose your headlight control if you remove the stock kill switch. Be sure to tape up the plug to keep it water proof once you've wired your kill button into it.

There are more complicated ways to wire a switch that require rewiring the voltage regulator up iside the head of the frame, but just going to the head light plug is the easiest and works everytime. Simply unplugging the switch and running the new wire to the new kill button will allow you to re-plug in the switch should you ever decide you want to run the headlight somewhere down the road.
