Default What is the brake flasher setting you use?
I tried the blaster setting and to me it just looks like the brake light is shorting out. I have it set to four flashes then solid on the fourth flash. Just curious is all.

If you're talking about the CD Magic Strobe, I am currently using Pattern 6: Blaster X Pattern for 6 Seconds, then Solid

I'm using the 8-flash, steady for 3 seconds and repeat.

I'm limited because my bulbs are incandescent [not LED], but this is mine:

Can't remember exactly but it does about 4 strobe flashes, then solid for a few seconds and strobes again. It's not too annoying as far as i can tell, at least no one has ever said anything about it. I have 2 bikes set up that way with the red LED signals set as run/brake/turn with no flashes. Custom Dynamics module.

I wanna play.

Am I able to change mine?

How does one do this? Is it an available setting that I can access?

You need to have a flasher module to make it happen. I have this one: https://www.customdynamics.com/magic...vidson-touring

I'm sure there are other brands, but I like the Custom Dynamics stuff.

Post or DM me your year and model and I'll link you to the right Magic Strobes module for your bike. They are plug and play, and will make your brake lights flash or strobe when you brake!

Patterns 6 and 7 tend to be the most popular.
