WOW, that would be great on a snowmobile, (something I had actually thought about a long time ago). Just backing off the gas on a sled is a major slow down and trail riding in a group almost always ends up having a rear end tap once or twice.

Don't know and couldn't find a clear breakdown that would show this.

However, I've been rear ended 6 times in my life that I can think of. It's an accident that you the driver have minimal control over. One of those times was on a motorcycle. It was never pleasant, not even on the bike.

People behind me must really get mad I have tour pack lights flashing too. Gear brake module.
I just had a friend get rear ended last fall. Lots and lots of physical therapy and still not right. 30 MPH intersection, guy was looking at a map they say.
People need to wake up and pay attention.
Put away the distractions.

[QUOTE=Mickey Shane;13943874]When I first saw a flashing brake light on a bike I thought it was cool. That is, until I followed that rider for a few miles in stop and go traffic.


I would like to have one that I could switch in and out of the circuit. Out for stop and go commuting and in for long lonely highways at night. But then I realized that I could actually tap my brake pedal 3 times and save a bunch of money.



BAL has a remote switch for the BAL lights.
