Default Attention getting brake light

On the way to work this morning on the bike I was following another HD that had a cool setup for his brake light. The usual amber turn lamps lit up clear and bright while the brake light between them flashed a bright red. Is there a setup for this that can be done by an average skilled mechanical person? I wanted to ask him about it, but he turned where I did not.

https://www.kisantech.com/application.php I think. I have just ordered the headlight and tail light kit for my bike, "08 ultra. Looks pretty straightforward to install. I'll write a review as soon as I have them working. This has been discussed on the forum before, as that is where I got the idea. Good Luck.

I have the Kury Panacea system that does this. Turns the rear directionals into LED running lights and the brake light flashes 3 times very quickly when applied. Real simple install, plug and play.

Clear turn signals? Illegal in my state. You can put yellow bulbs under clear lenses but you can't use a clear bulb under a clear lens.

I use the HD run/turn/brake plug in module which includes red turn lenses if you want to convert the amber lenses to red which I did.

I also added a Rear Alert ($15 on Ebay) to give me a x3 flashing brake light before turning solid.

The Brightasslights rear brake/run light is on my Christmas list. Nothing brighter that I've ever seen. I think it runs about $200.

Bunch of things you can buy and all easy DIY.

I had one of those brake light modulators on my softail. Simple hook up with just three wires and worked great! At least judging by the fact that I did not get rear-ended while using it <lol>

Look up BAL tailight. (Bright *** Light). Many of us on this forum run it.
Simple plug and play in 10 minutes or less. $200.

I have the HD system that makes my turn signals Run/Brake and Turn signals with red lenses. I also have the "BACKOFF" brake module installed which flashes the brake lights 5 times very quickly before burning steady. And I changed my OE tail light out for the HD LED tail light, which is MUCH brighter.
I notice cages behind me tend to stay back a decent distance when coming up to a stop light.
I belive that if they see me, perhaps they won't hit me. For I am invisable.
