I have one on my EG. I have it set to three quick strobes and then hold on bright.

People do seem to stay back farther and if I am the only one at a stoplight and see someone comming up behind me in the mirror I release the brake and give it a flash which seems to help.

I still get the stray idiot who seems to need to creep up on my *** at a light. If I creep ahead a foot or so and grab the brake and the flash goes off it seems to keep them off my "cushion".

 

I set the brake to the highest setting and run the three flashes then steady.
Are you really a Leo?

 

Can't say that I've seen one in front of me, but everybody behind me has seen one! The smoke laydown lens (BAL-3S I think) really blends into the Merlot RK - especially with the smoke turn signal lenses.

 

I have the BAL1 on my Scoot. It's a Great Product, and sure helps you be seen from the rear. When used with the Truck Lite 7 Headlite and Passing Lights, you can see me coming and going

 

You could do a fender swap with someone that has 09 Street Glide.

 

I have a BA1 installed on my limited. It's freaking great! Love that the caggers back off when I flash them the break light. The 3 flashes then solid is how I set it up. Love this product.

 

Undoubtedly the best light out there. Get security screws or have someone fabricate a pair and special driver. Worth every penny. The only downside which is common with most LED units is that they are super intense when viewed straight on. This intensity diminishes very quickly as you step off to the side. It is still visible but not blinding. But we don't care about bozos running red lights in the next lane over, do we? When this unit set on one of the many available blink modes it still captures attention of anyone behind you at any angle.

BTW I think that unit has lasers instead of LED's. Checkov, we got Clingons approaching at six o'clock, give em a blast of the aft facing photon phasers. Ba-zappo! They'll fall way back, squinting and blinking. Worth every penny to maintain a little comfort zone! By preparing and defending ourselves as best as possible, we will, by default, get a wider window to roll on and enjoy...safely. And at times enjoy a tiny bit of fun rooted in pure vengeance. Just kidding.... No. I'm not. If you go riding with your buds you can just dim it down a few notches. Get one, get noticed, and get respected. This is good old American safety innovation at its best.

 

Had a BAL-1 on my Dyna Wide Glide that I just traded in. It was the best mod I did to the bike. The BAL-1 is an awesome light. It's $200 well spent.

 

A couple nights ago, I'm out riding with a buddy --- I don't know why, but I felt - generous...? I was pretty sure he'd never ridden a touring model before, but I know he's a good and responsible rider, so I pulled off to the side and said "you wanna give 'er a run for a bit?" and off we went.

I rode his Sporty 1200 Custom... Admittedly, that was pretty fun. But I digress.

Shortly after starting off, I figured he wasn't used to the floorboards and maybe had his toe on the brake pedal - for a mile or so.

Then he actually started braking... Holy crap. All I can say is that I'm glad *I* don't ride behind me. I think I'm going to go ahead and go to the "medium" brightness level. I want to be seen - And I added the turn/brake module and the "wing" (or whatever it's called) on the TourPak - But I don't want to blind the guy behind me... That is one bright-*** light.

 

Yup, too bright brake lights are extremely annoying as anyone who has sat behind a Prius knows.... Fwiw, I had BAL on the medium setting and they were still too bright for my friends when following on dark mountain roads. The lowest DOT-legal setting is still far brighter than stock and I just tap the brake lever a couple times when a car is approaching while I'm stopped.
