Another goofy idea I had a few years back.

Take a 3/8 by 1½-2" long bolt.

Grind off the corners similar to this. Check it for fit as you grind.

Paint it black. Then drop it in here. Can't be shifted out of park.
Most unauthorized riders won't see it.
Maybe ways to lock it in?

No experience with CDI, but for a typical ignition coil, + from battery and - to points or ignition module, ground the - through a not-easy-to-find switch. With switch closed, it is the same as points/module not opening.

I did so on my 1973 V8 powered Datsun PL620 in 1982, as I figured insurance would not cover my "investment" in a new out-of-the-crate 350 cu in Chevrolet V8, Hooker solid motor mounts-fiberglass firewall and headers, rebuilt turbo 350 trans with shift kit, shortened and resplined Ford differential, custom drive shaft and all the externals to a long block (Carter 500 CFM AFB carb, aluminum high rise intake manifold, starter, alternator, etc) plus new exhaust system.

For a CDI system, probably easiest to do the same as adding a tether/lanyard switch to duplicate the stop/run switch, but instead of the tether, hide the switch.
