Watch your six!

No. The LED Lights are a straight add-on.

They are above my tail light.

 

which LED light set did you buy? (cuz what's good enough for you...)

thx again

 

I also installed a Back-off XP on my Hayabusa.
I have yet to do it to the Maxim

Nothing special. Just some 6-LED Strips I found for cheap on eBay.

I should try to do a little video of them. My Digital Camera will take a short video and Post it. The job came-out neat and clean. They fit right on the Plastic riser above the Brake Light on my 750 Maxim.

One at the top and two more a little bit closer to the Brake Light itself.

 

With more and more people using cell phones while driving i see more accidents. most because they are not paying attention to thier speed.

maybe a bright red helmet with a yellow flashing light on top will make them more aware of whos on the road.

 

You mean one of these?

i haven't noticed so much about people coming up behind me... the one that scares me is cagers making left turns... killed one of my good friends not more than a year ago... needless to say i'm very cautious about people trying to cross my lane of traffic. its good to hear the heads up for stop lights and intersections... whatever it takes to be safe is what i wanna do.

 

That's real trick, I like it.

 

My experience is that it doesn't matter that much how bright colored you get dressed, when the cagers don't look, they wont see you anyway...

One thing that DOES help are LOUD pipes...

The exhaust of my kawasaki produces over 120 dB, people notice (even when the audio system in cars are set way too loud)

just remember: LOUD pipes saves LIVES

 

I've been in public safety for 20 years now, and just last year had a Harley guy with get rear ended during a high speed chase, besides that all the MC's we've had wacked have been either nut jobs riding to fast, or the poor unfortunate folk that gets wacked at an intersection.

We just had a female killed last week on a beautiful Harley and word has it she was a long time rider, to bad the 17 year old that pulled out in front of her didn't see her front side in a very clear and beautiful day with no obstructions (besides maybe a cell phone, but haven't heard what the investigation has found yet just my theory)

Come on Rick, give us more info. Since I'm new to this, how do they modulate, wire in, etc? Is there an easy way to do this?

 

I'm with Dayo951, Rick: any details appreciated. I'm more eager than ever, because...

Highway riding today had a dump truck lock brakes/smoke tires in front of me; he wasn't paying attn. to somebody turning. But reading "watch your six!" made me double cautious so I had given myself lots of braking room.

Checked my mirrors for the pickup behind me, moved to the side a bit, pumped brake lights repeatedly... pulled every warning trick short of lighting a fart for the flare! (which woulda been difficult because my vinyl cycleseat was puckering up into... well, never mind that.)

It all worked out fine, which I credit in large part to my new woven "WWRRD" cycle riding wristband. (stands for "What would Rick or Robert Do?")

PS. Len, please just ignore that frantic cellphone voicemail asking you to deliver an XJ650 airbag immediately.
