It just turns them off. Uses sensors to determine when and it probably works better than any stock system.I wish I knew more about how this is wired, but just off the top of my head perhaps a diode inserted someplace might allow it all to work correctly. That is if the brake light switches supply power to the brake light in parallel with the module but the diode would prevent back powering of the switch circuit (and thus prevent the relay coil being powered) when the module activated the brake light. Your solution should work too if you don't want the brake light to come on when the cruise is on.
I discovered that my mccruise doesn’t work with the stop module. When Cruise tells bike to slow down, the module notices it and flashes the brake lights. That then turns off cruise ( its same as tapping a brake)
I think a work around would be to set up relay between module and mccruise switch. Turning on cruise control would then turn off this brake module.

The cc is turned off when the brake light is lit.
The only way I see it to work is to have a always closed relay hooked up
To the brake module. When I turn on cc, brake module is turned off.Turn off cc, brake module
works.
When you think about it, cc operation is the time I’ll need the flashing brake the least. City driving
is where I need it the most and where I’ll use cc the least.
I ordered a relay off of amazon,I’ll dig up the manual for my mccruise,
Sounds like Labor Day weekend work for me.
[Does the smart turn turn on and cancel the signal or just cancel the signal? Thanks.

That’s it
But I think if you go to their website, they might have a special on this when purchased with the auto turn signals and those really rock.
The install time for the brake module should be under 30min.
The alternative I suggested would be to use a N.C. relay in the circuit that goes from the brake light (relay in the case of a C-14) to the CC. When the CC is engaged, the relay would be energized so that it would be open, and the CC would not sense the brake light being applied by the CC. When you manually engage the brake lights via either front or back brake, the CC would disengage, the [brake light relay for the CC] would drop out and the N.C. [brake light relay for the CC] would again close.
This way you would still have functioning brake lights reacting to the vehicle slowing down via the CC but without the usual disengagement of the CC.
What you are suggesting would also work fine but at the expense of losing the function of the new brake light function while using the CC. In the way I describe, you could have both a fully functioning CC plus the benefit of the brake light module even when the CC is being used.

I saw an install video for the turn signals and you have to put tiny pads in the turn signal switch mech to keep the lever from sticking left or right. Basically, you push the lever to activate the light and it returns to center. After that, the system will automatically cancel the signal after you’ve made your turn, changed lanes etc. It may be possible that pushing the lever inward would cancel the system, but I’m not sure. Personally, I like having physical control of the signal. I’m one of those rare people who try to use their signal for every lane change and turn.
After reading your post three times, I got it. I guess I need a schematic to try it out. I've got some scrap electronics in the garage, I'll look for a diode (bet there is one in an old wall wart), splice that in front of where the module is and see how that works.
If that doesn't work, I'lll try what you said.
For the issue in regards to the CC being disengaged by the module ....
...... just add some of those LED Brake Lights and connect this module to them only. (aka.... a seperate brake light system....)
Sometimes you guys just try to over engineer things. Remember..... K.I.S.S.
