Default Video: Modified turn signal and brake light flashing - 2011 Street Bob

Hey guys.. so my quest to make the *** of my bike as visible to cagers as possible has finally concluded.

I have modified the rear signals with Radiantz LED's, while hooking up brake light flashers to each signal and setting the current flash rate.

I also have a brake light flasher hooked up to the stock Sparto LED light, but disconnected the running light so only the signals act as running lights.

If anyone rear ends me they would have likely rear ended a cement truck as well, this thing is an attention getter and the LEDs are BRIGHT

FYI- the signal housings use the HD smoked lenses and the sparto light is lightly smoked - all brake flasher modules purchased from 3rdbrakeflasher.com and all 3 wired according to the instructions that come with them. I am also using a Badlands load equalizer which is where my signal flashers are wired into, so its a plug-in-play process to remove the whole setup.

Video is here: http://youtu.be/dPIu7D9cZ2s?hd=1

(Cant figure out how to embed the video here)

Due to the burning in the video, I couldnt tell if you were displaying an amber brake light or not. I know in some states (Ca included), amber brake lights will get you a ticket by a salty cop,

All said, looks like your setup should get someones attention, and that works for me

I like how you were tapping the brakes to the beat of the music...

been thinking of something like your setup,almost been run over a few times turning into my road[left hand turn] from a major 2 lane road-maybe they would at least see me before they creamed me in the gashole!would at least eliminate the"officer i never saw him"scenario.

This would help a lot, exactly why I did it. This type of flashing almost draws attention that it could be a cop or emergency vehicle... maybe I can get a ticket for it.. I dont really care tho because if it can save my life one day I dont care, its easily disabled
