Is the ST2 Flashing Brake Light System Plug'n'play on 2020+ RT?
Has anyone installed the ST2 engine/brake Flashing Brake Light System on a 2020 or newer Spyder RT Limited or S2S? Was it a plug-in affair or did you have to splice wires etc. Do you like the system?

ST2 Brake module install
Not exactly. You need to find and tap three wires to install it. I bought the module but have not installed it yet on my 2022 Spyder RTL. I plan to, tho. I think it's an awesome idea. I also bought the turn signal canceller but the built in one works well enough I doubt I'll install it.

The TRICLED version of the brake light flashing system works well and is a simple plug and play. Time consuming to removes the Tupperware for the first time, but relatively easy. Works with three flashes then solid light.

The only thing that I would suggest is to run a dedicated ground wire to the modulator.
I pulled one from the fuel tank ground wire under the passenger seat.

NOT the same thing
The TricLED/Slingmods brake "modulator" is not the same thing AT ALL. Yes, it's easier to install. But it doesn't do anything I need. The ST2 "smart brake module" actually activates the brake lights when you DECELERATE, it does NOT need you to press the brake pedal to activate the brake lights. This is the entire point of the module -- to provide a visual indication to those behind you that you are slowing down, even without pressing your brake pedal.
There may be some utility in flashing or "modulating" the brake light when you press the brake pedal, but I just don't see it. I'm far more worried about someone plowing into the back of my Spyder because I'm using engine braking and the drivers behind don't know it.

Thank you for all the input. ST2 got back to me and confirmed it will operate all three brake lights, left, right & trunk. Also, the decelerator mechanism sensitivity can be adjusted simply by adjusting its tilt. ST2 also assured me they would be glad to walk me through the "how to wire" correctly procedures. Thus I ordered a unit.

I installed mine on my '18 RTL last August and love it, except for it cancelling my cruise control too sensitively, they're sending me a diagram of how to add a diode inline to prevent this.ST2 and stealth PB.jpg
