Flashing Brake Lights...Any Suggestions?

Edward · October 03, 2015, 08:03:22 PM

Hi All,

Looking to make my bike a little ~~safer~~ now that I am ok to drive my bike at night (Just got my M2). I've got a 2005 500GS F. Stock brake light. Wondering if anyone has any suggestions on an easy to install modulator or should I go with LED? Just something to try to alert anyone when I'm slowing down or stopping to catch their attention - and prevent getting rear-ended. If you have any ideas, products you think are good, please reply. Thank you! Edward

I use this in conjunction with super bright LED's, cos i've been rear ended twice by cars.....gives greater peace of mind.

I also run a module the starts beeping when the indicators are left on for a certain amount of flashes...but that's another story.

Before you get too carried away check to make sure a blinking light in the back of any vehicle is legal in your area

Neat. I like this as they are in addition to the regular brake light. Was it hard to install? What model did you get? Thanks!

cool. Photo much appreciated. Is that the brake light only module? Or did you get the one that also attaches to extra led's placed around the license plate? Lastly - did you order online or buy from a retailer? Thanks again!

You can see the back of the S16 (Single 16 Leds) under the silver ring and above the white wiring plug. You can get a number of combinations of leds in single or dual. Bought from Hyperlites.
