Trike is now in our garage!

[Parrothead]

We make the 3 hour drive South last Thursday to bring our trike home. Had to trailer it, as it was -11 when we took off and -5 when we got home with it.
It is a CSC on '08 GL1800. When moving it from trailer to garage we noticed that the back up lights don't come on when you put it in reverse, they come on when you push the start switch to start moving. Anyone know of a way to change to the lights coming on when putting it into reverse? I'm guessing that it would have something to do with the current draw through just the reverse switch, but if they were on a relay (I don't know either way) I wouldn't think that would make a difference. I don't know yet what bulbs are in there, but they are VERY bright.

I can't answer the lights question, but a big CONGRATULATIONS on the new arrival! You will be more than ready to ride when Spring comes

Congratulations. It's like welcoming a new member to your family.

Can't help either but CONGRATS

Congrats on the new ride. I had the CSC conversion put on my Harley and after 12K miles, I'm impressed with how it handles, the ride and the look. Enjoy and Ride Safe!

My 2008 CSC does the same thing. Never really thought of trying to change it.
It's nice the way it is.
Congrats on the new member of the family. You'll be long on smiles from here out.

I have a friend who just got his 07 Goldwing triked with a CSC and his does the same thing. Not sure but I would think it would require another switch to make the light come on when you put it in reverse. I added a break light switch to the trike I had before but that was on a 95 Goldwing but think something like that would work.
