This is going to be my first foray into wiring, so I've been trying to find a video to follow. I've just installed a Baker Built rack and the Shad 58X case, in preparation for a cross country trip later this month. Since I read a few comments that the rack could block the Spyder brake lights. I ordered the Shad brakelight kit. The information on the kit includes, "Requires tapping existing brake light wires," which I have never done.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a video or directions with pictures on how to proceed? I've done some web searches, but haven't found anything for the F3. I've got a 2017 F3-S. Thanks!

That light kit comes with how to instructions from Twisted Throttle
should be in the box.

Real easy. 3 wires: ground, run, brake. Remove rear seat, find connections going to tail light. Black is ground, white is brake, orange is run.

Mine didn't, Dave. All it has is a one page thing from Shad.
