The m-lock isn't going to be exactly plug and play. They only provide a single pole, single throw relay and as others have mentioned you need a separate circuit for the lights and the ignition.
g the m-lock (the m-unit only requires a few milliamps going through the old key switch to turn the bike on)

if you check out the wiring diagram, you can bridge the connection for the lights so that they come on and turn off with the ignition.

I double checked and you're right. In "park" mode, the ignition switch bypasses the main relay to power the 'parking" lights.

So in theory you only have to run the relay through the 3 and 6 connections and you can short out the 2 and 6 ones (and the other wires are just to confound would-be hot wiring)
I own several motorcycles. I have owned lots of motorcycles. And have bolted and/or modified lots of crap to said motorcycles...

today is my birthday and apparently my lovely wife Milli had listened while i bored here with my garage diatribes. She had gotten the switch unit from Mad-Duc.  i took off part of today, did a little dremeling on the cf ignition cover, and mounted it up. direct plug and play, everything works as it should. would have been more perfect if it could have been put under neath the cf ignition cover with just the switch protruding, but it works well as it is.

also in the pic, a new billet steering stem bolt for the old school stems - this is the 'revolver' from motowheels, and the 'swirl' i formerly had is now on milli's bike. when i get newer upgrades, her monster gets my monsters present/past upgrades. (worked with racetech forks, ima triples, dp gauges and many other things so far)

Looks nice. I'll be doing this for my trackbike as soon as I have enough money to get some stuff fixed for it.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.
