Converting a 5-Way Trailer Connector on a Honda Goldwing to a Standard 4-Way Flat

MY TRAILER HAS A 4 WIRE SYSTEM BIT MY GOLDWING HAS A 5 WIRE PLUG I HAVE TAIL LIGHTS and YURN BUT NO Brake WHAT WIRE DO I use for brake Light

Expert Reply:
Since motorcycles have separate turn signals and brake lights they will only work with a trailer that either also has a separate system or would require a converter to make the trailer and bike compatible. Right now, the separate brake light circuit has no where to go on the trailer.
It would be easiest to convert the connector on the bike using converter # 119178. On this converter, the red input wire is for brake lights only from the bike, green is right turn signal only from the bike, yellow is left turn signal only from the bike, and brown is running lights only from the bike. White is ground. And on the output side you will have a standard 4-Way flat trailer connector with the brake lights and turn signals on the same circuits.
