Gearbrake and trailer

[IdahoMtnSpyder]

I was just looking at this item as a possible addition to both my 2016 RT and my husband's Indian Roadmaster. Plain as day on their website is a statement that ..."this module will not work on CANBUS and newer bikes such as BMW and Ducati."

Might this be the problem? That GearBrake is not compatible with the CANBUS on the Spyder (if so, it probably won't work on the Indian either, as it also uses a CANBUS system).

Please keep us posted on what you find .... Ann

The Spyder brake lights are not tied into the Can Bus. Can Bus brake lights are "smart" lights that function in response to digital signals sent to it by the main Can Bus controller. The Spyder brake lights are old fashioned "dumb" lights that turn on and off by a switch. The Gearbrake module will work with the Spyder lights. I have no idea what the Indian brake light system is like.
