Default Blinded By The Light

Just installed a bal 3 tail light and all I can say is wow. Still seeing spots after playing with it for a while. Got the smoked and I like the way it looks on my 02 eg. Guess I will be changing the rest of the lenses. 250 well spent. Tried to upload a video but it wouldnt.

I looked at those. seemed a bit pricey, But if it saves you from getting hit from the rear, it's worth it!!! I try to avoid heavy traffic. Being retired, I can ride a lot during the week.Plus I ride the mtn backroads here in TN. If I get in heavy traffic, I just hit both turn signal buttons and start my flashers. You can't be too careful with all the cagers on cell phones.

Default I'm still waiting on mine

but I can't believe this cel phone phenomenon has become such an issue yet GPS is never mentioned as a distraction. The fact that we need to be more visible is overwhelmed by the continued use of these devises in cars and on bikes. I'm not normally a violent person but lately I've come awfully close to dragging some dick out of his car because he or she are still yapping away on their phone. They just don't get it, and I'm afraid many never will. Until that is, they kill one of us. These devises have no place in a car or bike for that matter. The average car driver can barely avoid picking their nose in traffic and then we let them have phones and GPS's. ARRRRRRRGGG!!!

I also have the brightass tail light and for the added safety I think it's well worth the money. The problem with phones, GPS is their not even looking so it might not matter that you have added lights when they are looking into a phone. I like being more visible though and have added more lights up front too.

Grrr... if only I could find them on the 'bay... or anywhere... $250 is nothing for personal safety, but it's hard to decide you want to put a few dollars back the next couple paychecks for one light... We need a sponsor or group buy or something! Definitely probably will be adding this product... the videos on the site convinced me immediately! (Of course its the nearly $500 light in their videos, naturally.)

Doesn't the MOCO sell a bright led tail light? Not sure how it compares to the BAL when it comes to brightness and cost though.

Waugh HD in Orange has 'em in stock. Of course not for the StreetGlide so she ordered it thru them. Not the best price I'm sure but it was an anniversary gift so I ain't saying $hit.
