Adding a Brake Flasher to a 2012-2017 GL1800 |
I've installed LED brake / turn signals and a flasher in my last two bikes. I've used the same flasher in all of them. The GS-100A does 4 fast, 4 slower then solid when the brakes are activated. It's rated for 20 watts. Which is more than enough when using LEDs The flasher is dirt cheap @ about $5 on Amazon or Ebay. If you happen to have a high mounted LED, you will need two flashers due to how Honda wired the bike. Using a break out harness to punch a hole in brake circuit AND get access to the run, left and right turn signals as well as the trunk release circuit! M61A1Mech on GL1800riders.com provides just a product. Kuryakyn makes the 3220 rear accessory harness that connects to their products. |

If you have a high mounted LED brake light, you need to remove the inner lid of the trunk to access the connectors. There are three two pin connectors of the same style. The white is the what should be currently used for the brake. The red is constant power. The blue is hot when running or accessory is on. The hanging connector is for the remote sensor. Unseating it makes the lid removable. Using male and female Hitachi 2.8mm MTW 110 two pin connectors on the flasher allow plug and play installation. The connectors came with the kit I bought from SJK but they can be purchased from cycleterminal.com, Amazon.com or Ebay. One note here: Don't place the flasher unit where it is in the picture. It will bump heads with the remote unit that is on the top side of the lid liner. Place it further back and away towards the very top of the back wall of the upper seat. I have the extra two bulbs in the center combination housing wired for brake (like Honda should have did at the factory, but I guess the incandescent load was too high....) LEDs make it all the "betterer"
