Modulating Brake Light
I have an Air Wing Tour Pack with LED Light Kit. I am wondering if anyone has hooked up a brake light flash module to it. I am wondering about the 5-flash and then steady module. Just wondering if it would work or look right. Any thoughts or what unit you used. Thanks.

Do a search on this topic. Somebody in the past posted a link to a DOT (or some place similiar) regulation that recommends flashing the brake light. I believe (again, not a lawyer) that this trumps state law.

Id rather have a ticket than be injured because some jerk didn't see me.
I use the signal dynamics back off wig wag. lights on the tour pack alternately flash left right left right go solid pulse four times then pulse three times and repeat.

I used the kuryakyn panacea set up on all my other bikes.

I put the brake light flasher from Comagination on my bike. I flashed 4-5 times then goes steady. I figured it's more reliable than trying to manually flash the lights and stop at the same time. Mine is connected to some LED strips I have mounted on the rear but I left the stock brake light alone so it goes on and stays steady. I haven't had any LEO problems with it but if I do I'll pay the fine. I feel better knowing I have the extra attention getter flashing.

I'm not a lawyer, but I do know that it is recommended through the advanced motorcycle course I took that you flash your brake lights to alert the people behind you when you are slowing down (time/space permitting of course). Not sure how I can get a ticket if I'm flashing my brake light manually to alert other drivers.

I would check the individual state(s) where you routinely ride. My state law has language that appears to allow it. I would at least argue my point in court, if necessary.
(4) Flashing lights are prohibited except on an authorized emergency vehicle, school bus, snow removal equipment, or on any vehicle as a means for indicating a right or left turn, or the presence of a vehicular traffic hazard requiring unusual care in approaching, overtaking or passing.
