2011 RTS Trailer Plug???

[M109Dreamer]

I have heard the plug for the trailer wiring is under the left saddlebag but I didnt see one on our 2011 RTS. Is it hidden somewhere, or am I looking in the wrong place? Anyone have any pic's of where it mounts to the Spyder?

Do you have a trailer hitch on the bike? If not then the trailer plug was never installed. It has always been part of the hitch kit installation.

Ah, ok. So your saying that its part of the hitch kit and you have to install it? I thought that it came from the factory prewired on the bike?

It's factory wired to a point, they just don't include the trailer light module and the plug. That comes with the trailer hitch. Make sure you get a recent stock hitch with the square 4 plug not the old round ones.

Trailer plug

You will need a converter if the trailer has a four flat plug, that means it doesn't have separate turn signals (yellow usually) from the tail & brake lights (red two way). Looks like your Spyder is the same set up as ours (2015) that have separate turn signals and brake/tail light combination. 5 to 4 converter will be in order I'm sure.

"Tail light converters are designed to adapt your vehicle's separate turn signals and brake circuits to your trailer's integrated brake and turn signals lights. Many newer vehicles come with separate lights for the turn signals and brakes, while many trailers use integrated lights for both brakes and turn signals. Tail light converters will convert your vehicle's brake and turn signals so that they will work properly when connected to your boat or utility trailer. Tail light converters are available in a 3 to 2 wire configuration and a 5 to 4 wire configuration."

Ok, thanks for the info. I'll know more when I actually get it and see what i have to work with.
