CanBus issue
Just aquired q Givi top box with brake light and would like to wire it up but have misgivings about tapping into a Can Bus lead. I'm working with a 2021 RT. Can this be done without the extra cost and complexity of an aftermarket CanBus dongle?

Re: CanBus issue
If you look under the pillion seat on the left side of the bike, there is a barrel plug. That is the proper connection. The problem is that the mate to that plug is inobtainium. If you find some aftermarket connectors, you can cobble up a good fix that shouldn't negatively effect the Canbus.
