Brake Light Modulator

[cyclekid58]

Who has installed a Brake Light Modulator and where did you get it? Am looking at this option to draw more attention to the brake lights to give better warning to the folks behind me.

I used the Signal Dynamics Wig-Wag Brake Light Modulator because I liked the "back and forth" effect. Here is a video of it on my RT. I installed the wiring AFTER the Custom Dynamics top brake light, so that the top one works like a "normal" brake light. You can get this directly from Signal Dynamics, Amazon.com, or most of the online bike accessory vendors.

I also used the magic strobe from Custom Led.

I am going to go with the Custom Dynamics, plug and play no cutting of wires.

Thanks to all that replied.

Good choice

Custom dynamics makes quality products that connect directly into the factory harness without cutting into that factory harness. I think that you will be pleased with the product. All the Custom Dynamics products that I have both look good and work well.

You mean as in alternating left and right? I can see that since emergency vehicles use that nowadays. I have mine set to alternate the stock brake lights with the high mount brake light.

The custom dynamics modulator was installed this weekend before the Easter ride, install was simple and works well. The Blaster X pattern is attention getting as well as the strobing one, not sure which I will use on regular basis but folks following me said is was defininately attention getting so the install was worth it. Put about 160 miles on this weekend and attended Blessing of the Bikes, around 50 degrees in the afternoons made for a fantastic Easter.

The modulator is a Can Am Spyder RT Gen 2 Magic Strobe Brake light flasher Item # Magic-Strobe-RT,

They also have one for the Rs as well. Custom Dynamics is a Spyderlovers sponsor on the main Spyderlovers home page.

Folks, sorry for the dumb question -- but does the 2104 RT-s have LED brakes lights, or are they incandescent. I was watching the Custom Dynamics Gen2 videos, and they mention that certain modes are only for led's, hence the question...

The 2014 has LED rear lights, previous years did not.

Oops! My 2013 RT has LED brake and tail lights. The turn signal bulbs are incandescent.

Just installed my Can Am Spyder RT Gen 2 Magic Strobe Brake light flasher on my 2014 RT-s this past weekend. Thanks to Finless Bob for his videos -- helped with taking off the back panels/brake lights to get at the connector (because there sure isn't any other way to do it -- not enough slack in the wiring to pull the connector out....).
I DID find that I didn't really need to remove the lower black plastic screws that were on the inside part near the rear tire - with just those attached, that bottom panel rotated down enough to get the brake lights out.
