Lightning up the back end

[Doc45]

Looking for some help. I am looking to add some brake lights to my 2020 RTL. What I would like to get is a light that will flash when it senses deceleration. I had a Volvo light on my BMW that was installed by the former owner so I have no idea how it was installed.

I looked at Volo’s website but it just said to tap into brake light circuit. Will this work on the Can Am without screwing up the stock brake lighting? I think it might work ok, I just need someone to back me up.

Any other ideas will greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Dale.

I had a Volo light license plate frame/light on a couple past bikes. You simply tapped into the license plate light. Not sure how the newer ones work?

Think I’ll just go for it. I’m worried about the canbus system might think there’s a problem and start throwing errors. Waiting for my trailer hitch and wiring harness to come in, I’ll ask the tech what he thinks.

U might want to check out STS smart brake Module and Gear brake module. One of these modules (I forget which) is a simple plug and play install for some Spyders and all Rykers.

Unless there has been a change in the 2020s vs earlier models, there is no connection between the brake lights and the CANbus.

Yeah, I saw the headline and wondered if it was one letter short or if there was an extra one.

Missing a letter: "lightEning" up the rear end, I was wondering how much weight he wanted to remove.

Extra letter: "lighting" up the rear end, made a bit more sense, and turns out that's the way it went.

I would like to thank everyone for their concerns over the condition of my “rear end”. Everything is as it should be.

Now back to the bike, I don’t think the Volo light will fit. Not enough room at the top. Guess I will look for some other means of “lightning up my rear end”, pun intended. Thanks for the heads up on the STS Smart Brake, I’ll look into that.

I think he is looking for one that acts on its own via deceleration , such as throttling back, or downshifting and engine braking

Yeah, I’m looking for a light that has a deceleration light. If I can’t find something, I’ll just light up the rear end as much as I can.

I drank the kool aid and have ordered one. I have looked at this a couple times, but it was not available for sale at that time. Read the reviews, saw the pictures, and like what I saw. Price is $169.95 and they are charging me $10.00 shipping for one. If I like, I will order another for Linda. Stay tuned for a review once I get it. They say 3-5 business days to ship.
