Default what brake controller?

I've got 95 softail fxtc and want to use kuryakyn strut mounted bullet led lights as my run/brake light. There are no lights on the fender, or turn signals on the front.

I see the kuryakyn p/n 4710 universal controller, could I use this without using the turn feature for the time being to get me running? I will eventually get the load equalizers to incorporate the turn signal function later, just need to get her back to streetable state at the moment. Thanks.

Might be best to email or call Kuryakyn and tell them what you have and what you want to do to make sure it'll work for you.
Another company is Badlands Motorcycle Products in Nevada. Contact them if you don't get what you want from Kuryakyn.
Here's a link to Badlands:

I have bought 3 Kuryakyn parts in my life. They were all crap. I won't buy any more of their stuff.

Got a little more research to do ,but I think I'm gonna go with one of those badlands units. It says the unit is 6" by 8". Where are y'all placing the unit, and what method of securing it to the bike should I use?

Don't really have much to say other than to I say thanks for the heads up on certain sellers and their products. By their name I would have thought they would be good as gold!! Stupid me.
