I currently use the Signal Dynamics "Back Off" module with smoke lenses (turn and brake) on my 2000 and want to have my turn signals operate as brake lights AS WELL as turn signals....Anybody have suggestions? Part#'s or prices would help alot......

I don't know what's going to be compatible with the back off module, but I took the redneck approach on this one.
I used a trailer light adaptor. Use all three inputs to it - L, R & stop. Then only use the L & R outputs. I found out the hard way that you have to add load resistors if your bike is new enough to have auto-cancel turn signals. I got mine from superbrightleds.com. I also used front turn signal bodies, so they're tail lights, too.

There was a thread not too long ago:eek: . I don't know about combining it with your current set up but I run the H-D Run/Brake/Turn Module it's was about $46 at my local Harley Shop it's a "Plug-N-Play" unit I'm very pleased with it. If you don't find enough info in the recent thread I'm sure I, and others will be happy to discuss the options, as usual there are many :banana

I think he's looking for one that also flashes the brake light, which the Harley version does not. Kurklyan sells one for about $60, with the flash option. I have it on my bike. The flash isn't very rapid, so I wound up disabling it, and just do it my self by pumping the brakes.

Ditto - the difference is amazing. I also have a flasher module (and even a headlight modulator) I need to get around to installing - more visibility is good (but I'm a hypocrite since I shaved the reflectors!)...
