sorry to revive an old post but do you happen to know the wire colors? I'm want to be as prepared as possible. Either that or I'm just lazy....

I think it's different for each manufacturer (wire colors). There should be some instrcutions when you buy the integrator to help you match it up.

You could also go to an auto parts store and get a trailer wiring kit for $12, same thing

Thats what I did, the same $12 thing actually. I was really asking about the stock wire colors, not what I'm adding.

you would have to specify what bike. but best bet is to test with a voltmeter or just look at a wiring diagram for your bike.

sorry, forgot you have an f2 also. stock colors are

gr/yellow= brake
light blue= right turn
orange = left turn

the rest of them are common grounds, so just leave them be.

thank you so much. The rest of greenville thanks you too. For some strange reason people don't like it when you don't use your turn signal, esp on a bike.

I tried doing this on my F2 without the module, both bulbs blinked when I hit the turn signal. I didn't want to spend the money so I just wired the brake light back up stock and now have no front or rear signals. Well I guess I still have one signal, left hand+middle finger!

only thing i cant figure out is when the brake is applied with a turn signal the blinker speeds up. i dont know if a relay is needed also or what could be done.

Yes you need to replace the relay.

djslick from sportbikes.com just reply on my thread.

"Any "HEAVY DUTY" flasher should work. I'm not sure if I'm explaining it right, but try to see if you understand. The stock flasher is capable of handeling "4" bulbs, only 2 at a time. So...when you turn on a signal, the flasher operates 2 seperate "filaments" (front and rear signal filaments). Your tail lights have "dual" filament bulbs. When you "intergrate" the system, and turn your signal on, while you apply the brake, that turns on "3" filaments. That actually overloads the flasher, causing to operate the way it does. A heavy duty flasher would be able to handle 3 filaments. But....you may need to make some modifications to the connections. Let me know if this helps"

The only bad thing is we will be hacking on the oem wires for the relay. I'm not sure if I would wanna do that.
