I have added two USB power ports to supply power to two cameras and they are getting power from battery through a FZ-1. The USB's are causing RF interference.
It was suggested to me that I put a 25 ohm 5 watt resistor on the positive side. Local Radio Shack is going out of business and does not stock. Anyone know where to get this resistor?
2014 Pearl White RT, TriAxis handlebar, BaJaron Bar&Links, Spyderpops belt guard, bumpskid & stainless grilles, Seal Dlx boards, JT's Dash Mount, SmoothSpyder belt tensioner, HMT brake, TricFender led's, mudflap lights, air horn, Squared Away laser alignment
Now I will add. You don't really say what is getting interference? The cameras?
If so and the 12V run is long (like from front of the Spyder to the back), then chokes or a resistor may not help. You might have to use shielded cable and ground the shielding at both ends as the wire is acting like an antenna.

There is a hiss noise and reception is lost until the brake is released
seems to do this with the brake pedal
just tried the same by applying the parking brake using the switch no interference

Parking break does not turn on the break lights.
I would unscrew the right rear speaker box and check the radio antenna ground strap and connection.

Did you also check that the antenna plugs are mated at the radio?
Pull the cover off over the radio and there is a standard type antenna plug set in there. Pull it apart and clean it inside.
There was a water intrusion fix (service bulletin) a while back that the dealer should have done. It puts heat shrink around that antenna connector so no water gets in it and keeps it from coming loose due to vibration.
Other than that I am stumped. Only thing I can think of is some ground issue for the radio.......

I would STRONGLY suggest an alternate approach.
RF Choke
Ferrite Isolators
"Magnets"
Etc.
As other riders have suggested.
My personal favorites are Ferrite Isolators or RF Chokes.
