I was cruising down the hwy the other day, and caught a flash from in front of me. About a half mile down the road was another motorcyclist, and every once in a while I would see a flash come from his direction. Of course I sped up to see what the deal was. It was a newer Honda GW, and everytime he hit his brakes, the turn signals would strobe twice. Not flash, STROBE. Like I said, this was visible from at least 1/2 mile away. Has anyone seen this before?

A friend had some and you never new if he was signaling for a turn or stopping. I don't ride behind him any more.

I used a Kisan Tailblazer for several years and never got ass ended-they are very obnoxious to ride behind in a group much like headlight modulators but they the definitely draw your attention-your choice-Brian

No, I use the 'Back Off" taillight modulator. This was nothing like that. These were STROBES. Like an amber photo flash going off before the brake lights came on. At first I thought I was following Highway Patrol and they were running code or something, but it was a normal Honda GW with a normal rider.

I was thinking they may have wired these into their brakelights and put them in the turn signals.

i was looking at these, wondering where to mount. I have the illuminated trunk emblem, and was thinking they could go in there

i purchased one of their LED kits and the whole set up was very effective and good quality
