Today I installed a little extra warning for those inattentive drivers behind me.

It is a LED license plate frame - when the brakes are applied the LEDs flash 5 times then stay on steady as long as the brake is on.



Once I figured out how to get at the wires for the tail light, it was an easy job.

Remove right side saddlebag. Under the fender, pop off the large connector from the fender and the fastener toward the front of the bike then disconnect the 2 halves of the large connector from each other - this should give you enough slack to work with the wiring.

Drill a small hole in-between the 2 license plate mounting holes already on the license plate bracket/fender, snake the new wiring through, and loosely mount the new frame and your license plate. Splice or tap the wiring as below.

The wiring is as follows: plate frame black wire -> bike black wire (ground)
plate frame blue wire -> bike pink/green wire (running)
plate frame red wire -> bike pink/white wire (brake)

Re-install the connector and fastener under the fender, nylon cable-tie any slack in the new wiring, tighten the plate and frame, re-install the saddlebag and you're good to go.

I haven't had a chance to check the cruise control (busy doing another mod) but I am thinking that since this is separate and not controlling the Vic's brake light, it shouldn't be a problem.

I'll post when I test it.

Sorry for the delay guys -

finally got out for test ride and everything works fine, no electrical problems with the cruise control or anything else for that matter.

Looks cool, works well, not a lot of $$.

UPDATE Two weeks and still no problems. It seems if you ADD a flashing LED with built-in controller to the stock circuit everything is fine, but if you want to flash the stock brake light with an in-line controller (like a Back-off) it messes with the Cruise Control.
