Has anyone installed on of these module's. Either a bBadlands Illuminator for Metric, or the Kuryakyn one ? Its a Run, Brake Turn ......Triple your visibility from the rear - Turns turn signals and taillights into a three run/brake/turn signal light combination - When you use a turn signal, the other signal remains a running light and the brake remains a brake light - Works with incandescent, halogen or LED bulbs - For rapid flashing, combine with our Metric Flash Pro module - Comes with easy-to-follow instructions and all necessary connectors - For use on all Metric and European motorcycles except BMW models with integrated brake lights

Recently did research for a member here regarding Kisan signal minder for these functions which is plug and play for most bikes but it turns out (so I have been informed by Triumph dealer techs from two separate sources) that our bikes signal system is integrated into the operational system and not something that can be tapped into regarding the turn signals. In going over the wiring schematics I can't disprove that the above is not true, but then again, I am not a trained electrician.

The rear brake light can be modulated via an in line splice by Kisan and others.

If anyone can provide information that is contrary to this please let me know.

I called Badlands and spoke to one of there techs. He told me which one to use but he also said he was unfamiliar with the TB. I was hoping something like this would work as I need the additional lighting. When I place my Iron Rider bag on the luggage rack it all but covers the rear brake light up. I really didn't want to go the Hyperlites route, If you find out more or if you call Badlands please let me know as this is a problem I need to solve ASAP. Have my annual ride to NY for the Americade coming up.

I installed a BMW accessory just for added brake light warning that might work for you. It's a license plate holder that bolts onto the TBird existing holder and then the plate goes on top of it. Just under the plate is a rectangular LED filled additional brake light that is quite bright and, when the brakes are applied, flashes three times and then stays on until you release the brakes. For me it's an extra shot of light in the face of sleeping, cell phoning car drivers. With your bag aboard it would become your brake light. It taps right into the wire under the fender. Piece of cake to install.

There are also several license plate frames, chrome and black, that include very bright LED brake lights built right into the frame itself.
