You might want to check the regulations in your state/town. Some places have regulations about flashing brake lights. The part that I'd be concerned about were I live is the red/blue flashing lights. I'm pretty sure that color combo would be illegal around here. The local law enforcement claim that one for themselves and they don't take kindly to civilians horning in on their territory!

Just a thought!
Ride Safe,
Steve R.

Yea, there are usually all sorts of rules about rear facing lights.

. . . and looking suspiciously like a police bike would probably get a lot of attention . . . but from the wrong folks.

redflashing lights, blue flashign or solid lights, or any combination of them will get you a nasty ticket and possibly a shiney set of bracelets here.

as long as the flashing red lights only work when brakes are applied you should be ok

Always thought it looked kind of funny seeing a bike cruise down the road with more lights than a tractor trailer, just IMO of course. To each their own.

I have been using Hyper Lights (red)on the back of my rides since 2001 and have never had an issue with LEO's. They flash as long as I'm on the brakes and stop when they are released. I firmly belive in usng them to hopefully keep some dumbass cager from squashin me. Ride Safe Ya'll!
