I have the same bike and just put a Custom Dynamics module on it. The installation was a more involved than my other bikes but if I can do it, anyone can!
I did need to go through the adjustment procedure to get the incandescent blinkers to act as running lights but CD walked me through that over the phone and that was easy too.

I installed this one on my 23 Heritage:

Easy plug and play installation. Took me longer to find the connector than to plug it in (it's under the seat). Tucked the unit into a corner, and it's been sitting there working just fine for over two years now.

Get a triple play module - I have installed several on other bikes. I think this one may be yours - check fitment. You won't look back.

Custom Dynamics a good company. I've used their products on several bikes.

As everyone mentions, Custom Dynamics has modules. I have Smart Triple Play on a couple of bikes.
I also bought a tail light with built in strobe from Eagle Lights for my 2024 FLHTP. In case you'd rather not have a separate module.

Custom Dynamics is great . I used Eagle lights on my Tri Glide. They work fine and the price was very affordable.

The module or light you buy depends if you just want a flashing brake light or the run-brake-turn feature. Be aware of the differences!
FWIW, I installed the run-brake-turn triple play module:
Triple Play

Bright *** Lights.
I put it on and immediately noticed cars backing off when I touched the brakes like they had never done before.
I looked at them all and none compared to it. JMHO.
Go to a run and take notice of all the brake lights on the ride. Find the brightest ones and when stopped ask what they have. You'll find what I found.
Good luck with your adventure.
