Default Brake Light Flasher

Does anyone know if you add one of the brake light flashers like the "back off" unit will it make only my stock brake light flash or will it also make my TP spoiler brake light flash? I really want the TP spoiler light to flash since it is at eye level of most cages. Thought about just getting one and putting it in line with the TP wireing but if I can get both to flash that is just added safety in my opinion. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Bryan

Heres a site for you to check out, I have a classic and I choose to only have the tour pack lights flash, the options are up to you. This should help. Tim

I just have a standar TP with the TP spoiler, so the only light I have on my TP is the LED run/brake light. I figured I could just wire the BackOff into that wireing, but was wondering if there was anywhere further down in the wireing harness I could splice it in to make all the brake lights flash. Any ideas there? Thanks Bryan

If you wire in under the seat all the brake lights will flash. I've had the BackOff module on all my bikes, on my Dyna the version I had would flash the brake light and do a wig-wag flashing on the rear turn signals (each would alternate flashing 4 times then go on solid). If Signal light is on then only the one brake light would flash.

I haven't put one on my Ultra yet as I'm still looking to decide which one I want, and some have warnings that they could make the cruise control not work.

I heard that too but they say the XP module will work fine I haven't tried it yet with cruise though!

I have a 2011 Ultra Classic and am about to install the Backoff modulator. Mine has 2 wires, one red, one white. Anyone know where the brake light wires are under the seat?
