How would you hook up the relay to work with the teather??

It is really easy but I have actually not done this yet since I have to get some money to buy the kill switch (Money is always a pain). I was not going to post exactly how to do this because I was going to make a little kit and sell it but I will just tell you because you asked and I feel bad witholding info on here. Go to your local auto parts store a get a relay with a mounting tab(not nessary to have mounting tab but nice if you want to scew it down) that would be used for a aux. lighting on a truck. It will have 5 conection pins sticking out of it and will be labeled with the following number or letters (85,86,87,87a,30). Make sure it can handle at least 30 amps but I feel sure it will. Then pull off the white plastic nose cover where the indicator lights are(remove two screws and slide toward handle bars about 1/2 inch and it may be a little hard to slide then lift up). Unplug the conector going to the key switch and remove key switch. The key switch has a white and a brown wire that conect to it.
1. Hook a ground wire to terminal 85.
2. Cut the brown wire(comming out of the key switch) and hook the end closest to the key and one of the kill switch wires to terminal 30(it does not matter which one of the wires from the kill switch but if the kill switch is labled use the wire NOT labeled ground but it really will not make difference).
3. Hook the other wire from the kill switch to terminal 86.
4. Hook the other other end of the brown wire (closest to the plug) to terminal 87a.
5. Terminal 87 will not be use and do NOT let it touch anything metal because when the lanyard is pulled it will be hot (electrically hot) and will blow the 30 amp fuse if it is touching anything metal. I would recomend taping up all the connections so that none of then have a chance of touching anything.
TIPS:
-It may be easier or nessary to remove the whole front fender assy.
-I would recomend sealing all the edges of the relay with RTV.
-May sure to make all connection waterproof with shink wrap and tape or how ever you please.
-Make sure all wires can move freely with handle bars but mount relay tight and zip tie everything.
