Default Backoff Brake light modulator.

I am wondering if anyone has installed this item on their Ultra Classic. Instructions say which wires (but not which colour is which) to attach the red & white wires to, but there are 3 wires going to the brake light. Also, any ideas on where to put the housing?

I have http://www.customdynamics.com/motorc...ht_flasher.htm

on my Street Glide and it had plugs on it. It just plugged right into the factory harness.

That one seems more complicated. I found instructions though... good luck!

Default Information from the MFG

@Bullitt59

The 3 wires that you should be seeing most commonly are black(ground), blue(running lights), and red with or without a colored stripe (brake).

If this is the case, the wire you would use is the variation of red.

This is the most common scenario, if you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please call 800-785-1814 | M-F | 9-5 EST.

Mine is hooked up to the lights on the tour pack only. The modulator is under the liner on the left side.
