The third relay from the left (Relay 3) changes state when the "activate" button is released. Depending on the state of relay 3, the next action of the button is determined. Terminal 87a is ACTIVATE, and Terminal 87 is DEactivate. Both (-) triggers. Run a connection from one side's relay 3 #87 to the other side's relay 3 #87a, and vica-versa. Insert a diode in each wire with the band towards #87a.
Push one side for activate, and it will deactivate the other, if ON. If it is not on, some relays click, but nothing happens. The second push of the same button deactivates its side.
It will work as desired, but that's a lot of relays to stash in a motorcycle. Perhaps this will give you new direction to come up with something more compact. Have fun, and ride safe.
