Wiring extra rear stop and tail lights

[Dunblane56]

Hi, I'm considering adding a pair of rear red running lights to my 1250 GSA.
As far as I can see I will need to tap into the existing loom to get use a trigger wire from both rear light and brake light.

Any opinions on the best way to do this preferably with out using solder.

Owning a bike like this I am assuming you have some cash

I would without doubt spend out on a something like the Denali B6 brake light ( you can mount as a single, like I have, or as a pair)

These are not cheap but with the kit you just plug into the existing wire loom without any soldering or cutting involved at all.

With the kit you can then set things like brightness, flash on braking (gets the driver attention behind you) etc. They are VERY bright (if you have max brightness set) and very well made.

Best way by far, buy a Hex or Cansmart and then use that to drive whatever. I used mine to run Skene P3 rear lights direct. Skene P3 do a controller and LED lights that you can tap into your wiring, but you need a ground, switched live and then the feed to the brake lights. Sportouring sell the Skene kit, not cheap though
