It's a while since I did it, and to answer properly I will have to take the seat off and have a look. But roughly speaking:
The sidestand switch is fed by two wires, I think black/white and black. The b/w goes to one of the terminals on the igniter box, the black is to chassis earth. The simplest way is just to short the two together. I tried this, but on my bike there was obviously a poor earth connection on the black wire, so I did the easy thing and simply took the b/w wire to earth directly from a point near the igniter, under the seat, and cut out all the rest of the circuit. The s/s switch had been removed by the PO and he had joined the wires somewhere, but I was getting a mystery misfire and grounding the + wire cured it.
If the weather's fine I will have a look tomorrow and maybe take some photos. Don't rely on anything above, though, as it's a couple of years since I did this and my memory is not getting better with the years!
