BackOff module for tail light
I'm going to install something to flash the tail light when I brake so I did a search on this site and came up with two options.
One is a factory HD solution that involves putting red lenses on the rear turn signals.
I don't particularly care for that and don't know if it's cool in AZ.
68286-04
Fits 04-later XL models.
The other is a generic module that does exactly what I want but I'm not sure how it might screw with my warrantee.
BackOff Module
Has anyone put in the BackOff on their 04-later Sportster?
There's a headlight modulator on that page too.........

RE: BackOff module for tail light
Thats the easiest way is the one from HD turns your turn signals into brake lights . Just plug it into your wire harness and in my case I went to clear turn signal lenses and got some good red bulbs that don`t fade in the Arizona sun . I think the other one " back off " you need to splice into the wires. I hope that helps alittle , Steve from Scottsdale.

Not that people pay a lot of attention to bike turn signals in the first place, but do you have a problem with people not noticing the signals?
I usually try to be in a position so that it doesn't matter if they see (or heed) my signals and they can't cut me off before I move.
I'm a little worried that people will be less likely to notice red signals but the HD solution seems best.
I don't have a problem splicing wires but plug and play seems like a better solution.
Clear lenses and red bulbs sound like the ticket in any case.
Do you have the details on the red bulbs or is that something I can get on the HD site?
Thanks for the great info so far!
