BJT wired mine for me. I purchased the wiring setup from U-Haul.

I used a hoppy converter. I never can remember which one I used though. If you do a search, I know I posted it up on here somewhere. It took me like 10 minutes to wire it all up.

Good luck.

I'm sure there are those who know plenty more than I, but I'm thinking you'll need more than 4 wires. You'll need at least the following:

Ground
Running Lights
Left Signal
Right Signal
Brake Lights

On another post concerning the RT & the RT-622 trailer, someone was wanting to create an adapter harness to allow the RT-622 trailer to be pulled behind another bike. Someone stated that there are separate left & right brake lights, which I found to be interesting. It might be that the brake lights and signals are the same, so that might explain it. If that is the case on the RS, then you might do with no brake light wire.

I know I haven't answered your questions, but maybe given you something to think about. :dontknow:

Call you local Auto Parts and ask for a 5-wire to 4-wire Tail Light Converter.

The hoppy converter will connect to the five separate wires and convert it to a 4 wire connection.

And regardless what some say, the hoppy converter WILL work on the Spyder GS/RS. I don't know about the RT.

I just used five wire plugs on the Spyder and the trailer. (There are not two brake light circuits.) Enjoy pulling your trailer :thumbup:
