75 CL360 with DCC controls. Wiring Help!

1) I've done a lot of searching, through which I was able to get some connections made (which I will list out in this lengthy post). But, I wasnt able to complete my set up with what knowledge is available.

2) I know that finding what works for others won't exactly work for me and that I'll need to figure out some of this on my own with a little patience and a lot of luck. But I'm hoping that with the vast knowledge on this board, my trials won't be as harsh as they're seeming to be thus far.

3) I do have a Clymers Manual as well as other wiring diagrams from DTT and other forums for reference.

Parts:
DCC RH controls 12-0203
It had 6 wires: 2 wires for Starter(bLue) & (B) and 2 wires for Run/Kill (R/B) & (R/W) (2 Pass Thru wires, deleted)

DCC LH controls 12-0050
It has 6 wires: Tail Light (bLue), Power(R), Hi Beam(Y), Low Beam(G), and 2 wires for Kill Switch (W)&(B)

Stock Wires:
RH control
Starter(R/Y), Tach Light(bLue/Br), Head Light(B/R), Run?(B/W), Dynamo(W/Y), Stator Exciter(Y), Neutral Switch ?(G/R), 2 Ignition (hot)(B).

LH control
Head Light(B/Y), Hi beam(bLue), Low beam(W), Horn(G), 5 turn signal wires (power?(Gr), 2 left(O) and 2 right(Sb))

Like I said I have wiring diagrams, so that's where the corresponding colors are coming from, checked against the bike.

I deleted the turn signals, so the O, Gr, & Sb wires are gone from LH control bike harness. Also deleted were the front and rear stop switches? (One on each stock control housing between lever and housing), I put new perches on and didn't have a switch to hook back into.

So far what I have connected. Typing as, bike harness wire (color) to hand control harness wire (color)
RH:
Starter(R/Y) to Starter(bLue)...does Ignition(B) get connected to the other Starter(B), completing the circuit when starter button is pressed?
LH:
Head Light(B/Y) to Power(R), Hi-Beam(bLue) to Hi-Beam(Y), Low-Beam(W) to Low-Beam(G)

Stator Exciter(Y) to Dynamo (W/Y), there was a spot under the tank where these could be connected as if it were an option at the factory. Also I've read that some bikes came from the factory with these 2 connected in that area, max charging capabilities or something like that?

Loose wires:
RH control
Run/Kill(R/B) and Run/Kill(R/W)....I imagine one of these wires get the Run?(B/W) and the other gets Ignition(B), completing the circuit when the switch is switched to Run.

Stock RH harness wires
Assuming the Run (B/W) and Ignition (B) are going to be used for the Run/Kill switch.
Tach Light (bLue/Br), Head Light (B/R), Neutral Switch (G/R)...from what I've read, can the TL, HL, and NS be wired into the IG that gets connected to the Run/Kill Switch so that they come on when the Ignition is turned on and the switch is in the Run position?

LH control
Kill(W) & Kill(B)...I would like to use the Kill button as the horn if possible.

Stock LH harness wires
Horn(G)...Like I said I'd like to use the kill button.

So to consolidate the questions.
1) The new Starter button has 2 wires, the clymers diagram shows only 1 wire and then a ground, but doesn't specifically say a ground wire. The Starter(R/Y) is already connected to Starter (bLue). Does the IG(B) go on the other Starter(B), supplying power to the starter when the button is pushed.
2) Will the Run/Kill Switch work if wired up to the Run (B/W) and IG (B) if so,...
3) are my assumptions correct about the TL, HL, & NS being wired into the IG on the Run/Kill switch?
4)Can the Horn (G) be wired into the Kill button? If so, how?

Hopefully I made this easy to read, a lot is spelled out. 1) to make sure I know what I'm looking at (I'll be corrected if I mis-labeled a wire) and 2) so others can use this thread as reference if needed. I am trying to keep it as clean as possible so everything is being soldered together and then heat shrink wrapped. I say that because I want to make sure I don't need to add fuses or relays before I hard wire everything together.
 
Do you have any switch diagrams?
Sometimes they are much easier to follow when you can see what goes where (switch diagram should be on wiring diagram)
 
For the controls, just what's on the back of the packaging. Which is just a run down of wire colors and it's function. Nothing for the switches themselves as far as a diagram goes.
 
Use the Honda wiring diagram t see where things go then transfer to new switches
It's easy enough to open control housing to see how many and colours of wire go to each switch
Starter may have power in and power out to solenoid or, solenoid is live and only live one side of switch, the other wire will be grounded.
I wish DCC sold switches with correct wiring colour for the different bikes, there really ain't too many variations
 
That's pretty much what I'm doing. My main concern really is where to hook up the HL, TL and NS on right control. And if it's possible to wire in the horn on left control.
 
The horn is on left button
It grounds through switch, just make sure you have a good ground to bars.
Tail light was originally brown wire, the on/off switch on right bar should do that ( needs wiring into ignition if you don't have on/off switch, use brown wire)
