Taillight Modulator Install

At long last, I finally decided to install the Brake Light Signal Module from Signal Dynamics that I removed from a previous bike. With the small taillight on the V-Strom, I figured it would help give it some needed attention at the rear. I had installed a set of sidecases, but they are bolted on rather than quick-release, and I had put off installing the modulator, not wanting to have to tear the frames off and create a lot of extra work for myself. Luckily, it was simply a matter of removing the top rack and two screws in the rear fender to swing it rearward a bit, giving just enough room to install the modulator, made simple with a wiring harness from Eastern Beaver. And everything worked just like it should. I love it when a plan comes together.
