I installed the Custom LED magic strobe brake light flasher on my 11 Cross Country http://www.customled.com/products/brake_flasher_modulator/brake_flasher_modulator.htm and it was pretty impressive. Ten different patterns with the strobe being an eye catcher. Only problem was my cruise quite working. I got back on their website and realized after reading that you have to install their CANbus load equalizer http://www.customled.com/products/load_equalizer/load_equalizer.htm It was only five dollars so I ordered it. Installed it and now everything works great. Just giving everyone a heads up should they install the magic strobe and make the same mistake I made. I know Custom Dynamics sells the same one but I didn’t see any reference to the load equalizer when you put it on a late model Victory.
Which white and pink wire? There are two in that bundle on my bike and neither flashed when I put it in line, I think one might come from the trunk though, so I gotta figure out which wire and which direction to hook it up in that wire.
CAUTION...Back_off XP will not work with cruise on 2011. Been there, done that. I tried the "resistor trick" to get the cruise working. NO GO. edit...it will still work as advertised, but will cut off your cruise control. Stick with the "magic strobe" model.

Thanks for the info Mike.
I wasn't aware of the issue with the cruise control, just wanted to share what seemed like a good deal. I have a 2010 XR, without cruise, and the Back-Off module works great.
Thanks,
Scott

I have the same product. Connected it to my trunk light ... works like a charm and didn't need a load equalizer. Have had several compliments on how effective it is.
Does anyone have pics of your wiring placement for the CD Magic Strobe? I have the same unit and CanBus, but I can't find any install videos on a CC. I've seen the trunk install and that isn't what I'm looking for.
