Our Triple Play will give you run, brake, and turn on your rear signals, and you can choose whether or not the brake strobe feature is enabled on the signals. However, run and turn only is not an option with our modules. If we can clarify anything further, just give us a call at 800-382-1388!

I'm not sure who's R/B/T module I used but it wasn't a plug-n-play, it was a cut and tap, so I had the option of connecting runs and/or brakes.
Which is what I did being my 94 had turns only in the rear.

Not sure if CANBUS might affect your ability to do this, though. Also, you shouldn't need a load equalizer or changing the flasher module unless you change both front and rear signals to LED, and I've heard that if you bike is a '14 or newer, you don't need one anyway.
So how is it that any of these modules, either the one from Harley or any of the aftermarket R/B/T setups, work without changing out the sockets to 1157? While I am now pretty sure the only way for me to accomplish what I want is by doing something a little more custom like you're talking about I am confused as to how any of these plug and play setups actually do what they say they will. Seems like to get a running light feature at all you would need an 1157 bulb in there.

Easy. The module just drives the single filament bulb at a lower voltage to implement the driving light (about 7 volts.)

I think the key is that those modules (Run/Turn/BRAKE) also do the brake in the turns. If you JUST want to add running lights in the turns, to get more light on the back end, but still have them ONLY be turns, and NOT work as brake lights, then just change out the sockets to 1157. It sounded to me that the OP wanted exactly that, just extra light on the back for running, and not have the turns also be brake lights. That's why I mentioned changing the sockets. I did it on a previous bike, and it got more light on the back, which was the whole reason to do it.

Alternatively, you could install an adapter like this (https://www.ebay.com/itm/Namz-Canbus...1/361474668069), or this (https://www.ebay.com/itm/Namz-Rear-F...1/122947344534) and simply add other running/brake lights to the back, or tie either of these into the 1157 socket in the turns.
