I made this video to showcase Motolights that I installed but you can see the Bal brake light too.

 

The only other changes was to add the run brake light/turn signal module when I changed out those stock yellow rear turn signals lens and added red lens to the back.

And yes as quoted from the dealer person..."Poor Side Lighting Visibility". But again...there was no hesitation to sell me 400 bucks worth of LED lighting. And the other great part was this dealer was listed as a distributor for Bright *** Lights that is why I went to them locally, I figured they might have them in stock..Nope! Go figure?

Its not so much the side lighting during daytime...When that rear brake light goes on and viewed from"behind" even in the bright Cali sun it's seen and the strobe(s) acts as an additional warning to cagers. It grabs their attention and that's what I want...And that's what I see in my mirrors, people tend to slow down quicker and some are not as quick to ride my a$$ as often.

At night there's no side visibility problem unless you can't see out one eye and the other one is blind...Its bright but not to the point of overbearing. You can step it up or down with the intensity of brightness you want and change the strobe effects...or for that matter no strobes at all, just on solid and bright.

 

I was expecting more. My Custom Dynamics triple play lights all of my rear lights (and I have added a few, all MoCo OEM) like this and has the adjustable flash patterns.

Thanks for the pix

 

I had a BAL-1 and liked it a lot. I switched to A BAL-2. I took some comparison photos. Stock Harley light vs BAL-1 vs BAL-2. Look at post #174 and click on the photo. I showed the difference as a running light, the highest setting for running on the BAL-1 vs BAL-2 and lastly the 3 of them with the brake applied. If you have the cash, BAL-2 is the way to go. I have ridden behind my bike and it was not annoying to me. The only way I could imagine it getting that way is riding in complete darkness and having to use the brake a lot. Anyway, I would definitely recommend this light.

 

Of the 21 differant patterns....it allows for you to select brighter/dimmer....fast/slow......flash/steady......flash constant...You can pretty much
adapt it to what you want....mine FLASHS BRIGHT four times....then goes BRIGHT steady.
Sorry if it annoys someone behind me.....lets hope we don't meet by accident.

I have been a big fan of adding bright flashing LEDs to motorcycles for brake lights for years. My riding buddy picked up a BAL-1 when he bought his Fatboy and I liked it. I finally got a chance to pick up a used BAL-3S off the sales forum for my EGC. Thanks HD_Rebel, it works great!

 

I have one on my 12 road king it is BRIGHT and you can set it up several different ways.
At first i had it on a strobe setting and WOW is it BRITE N ANNOYING!!!
They give you a super power magnet to set it up SIMPLE.
