Gear brake modulator

[Nyparrothead]

Hi all

has anyone installed a Gear Brake - brake light modulator on their f3? I ordered and installed one and it flashes the brake light fine . The problem is that when I hit the turn signal, both lights flash....

Yup, known behavior with any current modulator out there when installed on an F3 or F3-S. The brake/turn circuits are controlled & differentiated by the system on the bike.... No one has figured out how to "break out" the circuits to be able to modulate them properly. So far I have only found one vendor that keeps "promising" to come out with an "add on" light bar and modulator.... but it still hasn't happened months after the "promise".

I just used a 3 to 4 trailer box to separate out the signals. Not using the brake modulator but I wanted it to be able to install some leds on the license plate bracket that would flash with the brake activation. Works fine. I have now tied in the leds on my saddle bags as well.

Nice! But I'm wanting to keep the number of components to a minimum.... And plug-n-play as much as possible. I hate adding wiring and soldering/crimping etc if I can get something with OEM plugs.... Sooooo, here I sit, waiting impatiently for Electrical Connection! :banghead:

Understand completely and agree. Plug and play is nice but in this case even though mine is I had to make it myself using OEM connectors so I can always unplug my additions which fit in as jumpers in the regular circuit. Hopefully someone will get something on the market soon to help you out.
