The BAL has the same type of configuration. I have mine set to quickly flash three times twice and then burn steady. The pulsing along with the LED definitely helps in getting the attention of those behind you.

Sounds to me like you should sell your Harley and buy a metric wannabe. After all "surely one of the copy cat overseas companies will be offering nearly the same thing for a lot less"

Sheesh....
Borrowed this pic from the classified section. Fatbob front wheel.

It might not be an American losing their job just because it's on a Harley.
I do agree with the idea of buying American if you know that's where it's made.

Dang for that price I could pay a midget to sit backwards and wave a stop sign.
Kills me, people won't bat an eye at paying a grand or more for chrome, pipes, saddles, bars, and a host of things that are for nothing more than appearance, yet won't spend a couple of hundred on something that might actually save your life someday. Each to his own I guess.

Finish the quote flultrarider! If I HAD the money I would probably get one too. The green stuff is in short supply and my current light works.

I'm not sol that a superbright tail light is safer, the reg led's that flash get huge amounts of attention without being a distraction to the people behind you

The price offered on the BAL website is the same I paid at my HD dealer. The basic BAL-1 part number is $199.

The BAL 1 sounds like the ticket to getting noticed. But the Harley tail light is $140.00 list price. If you purchase it online, you're looking at 20% off the list equaling $112.00. That's a pretty big price difference. Price vs. safety...? Either way it's a tough call but, neither is a bad decision. The Harley LED is definitely brighter than stock.

Ride safe,

Bob.

I just installed the Bal-2 on my Fat Boy Lo. Holy Chit!

Easy to install and when I lit it up the light was amazing.

Really happy with this upgrade.
