Hey Mark7
Everyone will avoid getting to close to you, because they will think your law enforcement!!
Pretty cool though.

Re:Lighting up the rear! 4 Years, 3 Months ago  
StarMyram, I know it's already too late to get a refund... but, down here in FLA, the "Too Fast, Too Furious" car type guys asked for a formal interpretation from the State Attorney's office. The state statue regarding "Blue" is written in two sections... the first section deals specifically with "forward facing", "directly visible" and "flashing" and the second section deals with impersonation of "law enforcement"...

The AG determined red and blue "accessory" lighting that is not "directly visible and "remains constant" is not part of the prohibition...

Although, I've been "questioned" by some rookie cops, I just "play blonde" and hit the switch that turns all the accessories off and usually get away with a firm talking to...

Yeah and Coach is right... A lot of people I come up behind at night (or that come up behind me...) seem to change their "driving habits" when they see "blue"... and that's just fine! (I just can't see to shake that old lady with the shopping cart though )

Oh, and for those times when all I can see, is the manufactures emblem in my rear view mirrors... the "Everything for a Dollar" stores sells a 133 piece bag of marbles... the odd marble is the "Shooter", it's a 1-1/4" - 1-ounce Aggie! (It's reserved, especially for that gum poppin' cell phone talkin', make-up applyin' Boom-box-SUV drivin', bimbo who can't take a hint the third time! ) And, you guys know how it is with motorcycles... Ya' should never follow too close... 'cause ya' just never know when somethin' may fall off of 'em!

Re:Lighting up the rear! 4 Years, 3 Months ago  
My rear lights are all red with the back-off unit. Works like a charm.
MUCH brighter.

cagers back off, no more seeing the numbers on their cell phone.

If they don't - I prefer rusty nuts (not mine ) to back them off.

thanks to pop rivet - I mean with the lites.


ps I have to be nice to hime cause he's still holding by bike hostage, I mean he's storing it in his garage.

I just installed a kit from electrical connections. I had to place a red LED ring in both rear signal lense. It is awsome and I can be seen much better! This type of project is money well spent.

I win!

Insurancedon, I've got the same kit as you..love it! I added a few extra, too...

Turn signals (with rings) and bag lights all act as running & brake lights.





Let there be light!

The goldwings that have the lights that flash and run across the rear trunk are a pretty nice system.
