I used my normally open Pro Armor kill switch to trigger a SPDT Bosch relay to open up the circuit for my factory kill switch which works like a charm.

Exactly what I am talking about!
All you have to do is find a wire that has to be hot for the bike to run and when you flip the switch to off it goes dead; then take a relay and make that happen as you have done, it will work fine. I would suspect that the key switch and thumb switch are both that way. I suspect when most people are having a problem is that they are using the normally open kill switch as a short to ground when the lanyard is pulled(kill switch goes closed). Therefore making a lot of current flow but it will cut the bike off. I have seen some people recommend using this technique and shorting the coil wire to ground which I would not do. You could also short any wire that has to be hot for the bike to run but this is a bad idea. Use a relay. I am not sure if the key switch, thumb switch, or roll over sensor will be easier to get to but it is not a hard problem to solve. All you are doing is using a relay to make a normally open circuit a normally closed circuit.
