    Default High mounted stop light-RT

    I've seen several RTs with a stop light "bar" tucked into the indentation in the top of the trunk lid.......which looks like it was made just for that space......because it IS.

    Alas, I can't seem to find out where to get them.
    At one time, I thought it was a BRP product but can't find it on their web site.

    Any help in locating them would be appreciated.

    There are a couple different models available from SL Site Sponsor Value Accessories as well as others called the High Mount Tail light (HMT)

    or Multi Function Rear LED below
    I got the MultiFunction and am very happy with it. Installed myself, worst part was thinking of drilling the hole to pass the wires in.

    I believe these are Show Chrome (manufacturer) and available from several sources;

    Mine is both a running and stop light. It adds a lot to visibility and looks like it came with the bike (and probably should have).

    They are good folks.
    But I'm just not very impressed with the look of their aux. brake light.

    I did use their mirror mounted LED turn signal strips though.

    Hello again, Dave.
    A phone call just won't do it.
    I need to SEE what we are talking about.
    I already have one kit that just won't do.
    I don't need a second one.

    BUT.....where can I get one ??

    None of the other suggestions so far are the nice chrome trimmed ones that I am looking for.

    The Show Chrome one on Amazon is identical to the one you are looking for, isn't it? https://www.amazon.com/Show-Chrome-A.../dp/B016VF18B2

    Value Accessories has the one that I have. Click on the link from the first response to your post. Mine was purchased and installed when the bike was new and came from the light manufacturer to the dealer as an accessory It is just a plain light bar with chrome trim on the top. No turn signals, just running and brake. Hope that helps you out......

    NO.
    The one I want had an all red lens and a chrome strip on the top....I think.
    That picture looks like white plastic around the outside but maybe it is not.

    This might be it. I guess I'm going to have to corral some local riders and find out where theirs came from.

    The web site says nothing about models newer than 2012 though.

    What you are describing is exactly what I have. It is also what DGOEBEL suggested in his post to you. It is a Genesis High Mount 36LED brake/running light. Made by Custom Dynamics and sold by several dealers including Value Accessories. Click on DGOEBELs link. Retail is $199.00. If you have something else in mind then It is not clear what that is.....

    Default TheSmoaksVlogs

    Recently watched a Youtube video by SmoaksVlogs where he was on his way into the shop (where he works, I guess), and went on a little rant about these lights and how much trouble they cause. He said to NEVER put one on a Spyder. I tried to find the video again so I could link it here, but no luck. I had one on my 2010 RT and liked it a lot, but am reluctant to put one on my new 2018 RT Limited. Yet, there seems to be a lot of people using them without a problem. Should I ignore Smoak, or does he have a point. He claimed it screwed up the Can-Bus.

    The only lights in the rear that even come close to an association with the CANbus are the turn signals, as I see it. Those are powered from the cluster. The brake lights and tail lights are powered directly from the 12 volt main power fuse boxes through their respective switches. The brake light has a connection to the ECU to signal the ECU to cancel cruise control. I suppose it's remotely possible that the ECU may see some fluctuation of the voltage in the brake connection and cause it to have a hiccup that interferes with the CANbus, but I don't think so.

    I had a high mount brake light on my 2013 RT that I cobbled together with LEDs from Super Bright LEDs. Never had a lick of trouble. I duplicated it for my 2014 RT and worked perfectly. During Spyderfest 2016 Pit Bull shop boys had a bike mix up and cut my homemade unit off so they replaced it gratis with the Custom Dynamics one. Never have had one bit of trouble with it. I think Smoak was smokin' something strong that day!!! Or, he had been dealing with some cheap crappy stuff that did cause a lot of RF noise that impacted part of the CANbus.

    Keep in mind CANbus stands for Controller Area Network bus. It is a digital signaling system between the various processors to exchange control signals. In order to interfere with it you have to have a specific strength and frequency of a stray radio signal. Well made electronic units don't emit those.

    Default Custom Dynamics

    Ours is from custom dynamics, our dealer had them in stock. We were thinking of the helmet mounted brake lights but like this so much better.
