As I said above, you can modulate the brake lights on an F3-S, it just requires 2 modules because you need one for each side so as not to combine the turn signals.

It is an "add-on" light bar that will be "modulated" vs using the existing lights but hey, with the way the system was designed by BRP, we are lucky to get getting anything at all!
Any developments on a Brake Light modulator for the F3S yet?

Thanks.
It's a separate stand alone LED kit that works independent from the stock brake lights.
I prefer to have my stock lights modulate.

The stock brake lights are combo brake and turn and are incandescent. They do not flash well. Only LED lamps work well with the strobe units. Nature of the beast.

Not from Electrical Connection. He is only doing what I mentioned previously. I have it on mine and it is EXCELLENT! That said, I am running the Chopped Fender on mine so it is slightly angled up in comparison to how it would be on the stock setup..... YRMV.

https://youtu.be/bn0Jre3Nbj4. This is my bike and wife's F3S that I wired into our (Brake Light) harness. Hers is the multiple flashing light bar 3"s long, and mine is 2 flash and then solid 6"s long. These are super frikken bright light bars. We bought them from a Safety and Service Supply company called D&M Distributers here in Columbus Ohio. These light bars come in multiple colors while only amber and red and white are usable for the (public) I have a white set on my (A) arm suspension I'm using for driving lights ! These lights even in the day are super bright! (Tomar Electronics,Inc. www.tomar.com. They have 20 plus programmable sequences. Various sizes too. https://www.tomar.com/pdf/brochures/RECT13-brochure.pdf.
Either of these lights came came at a cost of 59.99. I installed myself

Nice setup. And bright too. How much in cost do you have invested in the setup on one of the bikes?

59.99 apiece. The one on my bike (larger light) I can't seem to find anymore. But I've got 3 more to use if necessary! These were pretty easy to wire in as long as you know which wire to (Tap) for the brake light signal

I promise I'm not trying to sound like a whiner, but I am just stunned there hasn't been an LED switch out modulator kit made for the stock brake light setup that includes a module that separates the brake and turn signal wires. Seems simple, but I'm no electrical guy.

I do not understand what it is you are looking for. There is no 'separation of the brake and turn signal wires' as the wires are one and the same on the F3S.
The kit Spyderpops sells works great and includes the strobe modules for the brake functions.

I understand the technical aspects of it. My position is just that I'd like to avoid having to add more LED strips, etc. I'd rather be able to utilize the factory taillight housing for the LED brightness and the strobe flashing/modulating.

Decision Made & Install Complete
After much research and consideration, I decided to go with the following Brake Light / Turn Signal Kit from Spyderpops.

I am thrilled with the outcome.
