Default My 3rd brake light mod

This is the latest mod that I have done. Not to much, but it will get someones attention when I am stopped.

Big thanks to BRD_PREY for the help he has given

I think you only get in trouble if you use red AND blue lights. A bunch of bikes have something like this when they hit the brakes, too. There's just don't flash like that. Still a pretty cool mod though.

Maybe if it flashed once then solid on perhaps? Just to avoid any issues with the cops.

you won't get in trouble. These guys are paranoid.

It's cool. If they do stop you, tell them it must be malfunctioning.


So it only flashes when you hit the brakes?

So it only flashes when you hit the brakes?

Yes it is wired in line with the high mount brake light. When you press the brake the circuit is complete adn it flashes. I can change the patterens of the way it strobes. But I like that one the best. Just the most eye catching IMO. Some of my friends that have been behind say it is going to give someone convulsions. LOL

I tried to get in front of some cops since I have done this with no prevail. So only time will tell and if the cops are in a bad mood. I will take a ticket over getting rear ended any day. $20.00 ticket or 20k in repairs.
