Brain replacement (ignition board) with rocky point kit

Re: Brain replacement (ignition board) with rocky point kit
A user named Pokie on the advrider forum helped me with this.
His instructions that i followed using the schematic are below:
***
Select a wire that is powered when the ignition is on (on BMW it's usually a green wire or green with a black stripe), tap off of that wire. The other side of the relay will need a ground wire (brown) to activate the internal relay coil switch. The brown with black stripe wire will be the one switched, attach to the "open" side of the relay when powered. Another ground wire is attached to the other pole of the relay (leaving one pole empty). Now, when the power is off the relay will naturally ground, when the power is on, the circuit will be open, allowing the magneto to be live.
In the photo above (that I scooped off the net) #85 would be Green (power with ignition "ON"), #86 would be Brown or ground, #30 would be Brown or ground, and #87A would be Brown with a Black stripe (magneto). #87 will be empty, no wire attached. On the older /2s, the magneto wire was black with a purple stripe.

Re: Brain replacement (ignition board) with rocky point kit
no need for a kill switch/relay because R26 does not have a magneto ignition, and will stop the engine when the key is in the off position.
Does anyone have a picture/diagram of he rocky mountain switch

Re: Brain replacement (ignition board) with rocky point kit
However, my most recent learning is that Rocky Point is no more. They’re closed. Their website appears to take orders, but their voicemail leaves an entertaining and clear message of their closure, and openness to sell their business, but not to any “fly by’s”
So, can anyone with this kit, or anyone who has made their own version, comment on the specifics of the switch and “collar” that came with the kit so that I can source and make my own?
Thanks in advance,
Tony

Anyway, received this text in response:
I'm sad to inform you of the passing of Bill Blake, owner of Rocky Point Cycle. This email address and the business will no longer be monitored by anyone.
