Brake light delete, turnsignal to brake Tristar module, I cant make it work ....
So plugging everything as the instruction point nothing works, searched internet found a 2007 tread in the touring section left unanswered.
Basically im deleting the big brake light and want the signal to be used as such.
Ive got the Tristar module that is made to do that but i'm fuses short so a hand will be appreciated thank you.

I deleted my brake light when I swapped fenders. I bought the plug and play kit from H-D. Its 60 bucks and has everything you need. I know nothing about the kit you have. If you have $60, buy the H-D kit. Are you getting any lights at all?

Yeah its trial and error I dont get the complete set up i want. I didnt know hd made one ive bought this one because it had the best comments.
the closer i get to make it work everything fails , the turn signals seems to be too bright as if the brake was pushed and or when the signal flash it weaker than normal....
The kit is made for the use i want to do with it its just that the wiring diagram provided with it doesnt fill my needs since they use the brake light and i dont.

I used the HD kit and it worked perfectly, you can delete the brake light completely or in my case to stay "legal" in Canada you need a center mount brake light so installed a LED light strip.

- From Bike -...................................... -Module-
Orangewhite(running light ?) .................................... RedBlack
Brown (Right flasher) ............................................... Violet
Blue (liscense plate + running light) ......................... Whiteviolet
Redyellow (Brake)........................................... ........... Brown
violet (Left Flasher).......................................... ...... whitebrown
Black (ground).......................................... ............... Orange
.................................................. ..............................Black
Right flasher.................................... Left flasher
Violet............................................ ........................... Violet
Black .................................................. ..................... Black
So how the heck do i plug this; all blacks together for grounds,
(Rightflasher) violet to (Module)Violet and (bike)Brown.what do i do with the whiteviolet ?
(bike)Orangewhite on one flasher and (Bike)blue to the other for running lights or with the (module) white violet and whitebrown ???
As for the (module) redblack I assume i wire it to (bike)Redyellow for brake signal
Leaves the (module) orange that i have no idea and (module) whiteviolet and whitebrown that i dont know where to connect on the flashers it states(for turn signal lamp)

Signal Dynamics Tri-Star Modules #106 & #108
If I were you I would use the Harley module, but if you want to use the Tri-Star module see below.
*Many turn signal systems require the load current provided by the rear turn signal lamps to flash properly. If your turn signals do not work after following the above instructions, then add the Dual Load Equalizer as shown in the diagram above.
The Dual Load Equalizer provides the current required to make the turn signals flash.
DO NOT connect a Dual Load Equalizer to the Tri-Star Module outputs (White-Violet or White-Brown) as it is not needed, wastes power and serves no purpose as the Tri-Star has no output current requirements to work properly.
If your bike does not have a variable load turn signal flasher, the INCLUDED Dual Load Equalizer will be needed for this installation.
Go to the links below for the information you need.
If you still need help, email me with your questions and your email address in the body of the email.
