Social Security was deposited so I ordered the ST2 Brake Module. They sent a coupon for 33% off, so I got it for $59. plus some change. And they offer a 100 day trial.
My plan as stated above is to disable the front brake switch in the right lever. This will allow me to keep my tassels on the lever and use the cruise control on long trips without having to keep pressure on the lever away from the grip. And stop my brake light from flashing.

Just to follow up on this since I'm the OP, I ordered the ST2. They sent a coupon for 33% off, free shipping and a 10-year warranty...it ended up being 59 bucks or something. Looks like it's coming from Europe, so I won't have it for a while and riding season is rapidly coming to a close in Minnesoviet so unfortunately, I won't have any reports on how it works until it warms up and the snow is gone, so probably in May '23.
I was really surprised to find out that it was being shipped from overseas when I ordered mine too. Totally unexpected.
But, at $59+, I guess that I can't argue. Where the HEX is over $200 and from reading, it seemed complicated.
The info/manual says that it does this and that, for the life if me I couldn't figure out what this and that really was other then acting like a splitter. I downloaded their software to see what it would do, but they don't allow the software to load unless you physically have their product.
Instructions for the ST2 are simple. After wiring, turn unit bottom side up to have brake light flash when decelerating or top side up to have brake light solid. And make sure that the unit sits and stays level with arrow facing forward.
I bought the ST2 system beginning of the year and never installed it. No idea why other than I forgot about it. I'll have to go find it and find a time to hook it up.

Slow reply, but the Hex ezCAN is basically a very advanced power distribution module that lets you have a flashing brake light as just one of its many features. Its main purpose is to let you power auxiliary lighting and other accessories such as turn signals, powerful horns, extra turn signals, heated gear, GPS etc, etc... without additional relays or fuses.....and have total control over them all. For lighting, it lets you do stuff like set the aux lights to strobe with a press of the horn, dim to different brightness for day/night, have your aux lights on one side go out when you use that turn signal so it doesn't get "washed out" etc...it also allows you to do all this without the need to add any additional switches or buttons.
But if all you want is a flashing brake light, then it's certainly overkill. If on the other hand, you see the need to add aux lighting, a Denali sound bomb horn and stuff like that, then it's the perfect device.
When you see BMW GS bikes coming down the road lit up like Christmas trees, most of them are using the ezCAN.
