Title: REVIEW: My Taillight strobe install... Verdict: EFFECTIVE!!!!
Post by: annguyen1981 on March 14, 2009, 05:30:20 PM
Ok.  I purchased some cheapo headlight strobes from AutoZone for about $15.  I installed them into my R6's taillight assembly.  They only activate when I use the brakes.

Here's a video clip I just shot tonight:

I've been out riding last Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday and Today...  I've noticed a dramatic decrease to people getting too close at a stop sign or red light.

Today was also the first day I had a police officer behind me.  (Technically he was in front of me, but the speed limit was 35 and there were two lanes heading north, so I passed him going about 39).  When We got to the next traffic light, I intentionally switched lanes so that he'd be right behind me and notice me.

Nothing at all. :)
