Hey Thomas, what you need is a signal converter to take your motorcycle taillights that have the stop lights and the turn signals on separate circuits to be combined to match the taillight setup of your trailer. For that you'd want the part # RM-732. You can install this on the motorcycle wiring or the trailer wiring.
