Can anybody steer me to a good quality motorcycle battery quick disconnect switch that doesn't take up too much room?

How many amps do you want it to handle?

I don't know- it's for a '94 wing.  Maybe you can tell me that, too?

Any switch for a car will do just fine you dont draw anywhere near the amperage a car does but I have to tell you that most I have seen are a bit bulky and  I know that getting to the battery on a wing to disconnect is not a quick deal.

I would suggest marine grade. But already stated, all I've seen a large.

Space is a problem.  Any thoughts on an in-line "knife switch?"  Also, does anybody know what kind of amperage it will have to handle?

100 knife still takes space and is a problem with insulating the contacts
