The purpose of this post is to document my solution to using a Bushtec Trailer with separate turn signals, tail lights and brake lights with a Can Am Spyder RTL 2024.
There are a few plug and play harnesses that are available but most just provide a 4 pin solution. I wanted the separate turn signal lights on the Bushtec and I needed a bit more current for my on board compressor for the air ride system on the trailer. I also had a plug and play adapter installed for the Afterburner tail lights and did not want to add two more connectors in series with the adapters as space is limited back there.
The BRP hitch comes with a harness that you could use to tap into the signals and a light duty power tap to run everything you would need. The BRP isolator is designed for a US style trailer fed by a 4 pin square connector. If you have no other modifications to your rear lighting you can use the BRP harness right up to the isolator.
I chose to tap into the signals ON the TricLED Afterburner adapters and make a harness to connect to the a modified Bushtec isolator. I opted to make the final harness to the trailer from the isolator removable so it was out of the way when not using the trailer and hitch. Main power was already run from the battery to the seat area for my heated riding gear so it made sense to tap into that for the high current I needed for the trailer.
The photos show most all of the details. I used a connector kit I ordered from Amazon for all of my harness connectors that I made for my harness.
