Brake light modulator alternative? Just installed LED strobe bulbs...

I have these bulbs and installed them about a year ago. I have had great feedback from ride buddies and folks in cars. Great attention getter. Also inexpensive at Amazon. I am not sure of all the laws in all the states, but good up here in this Province. Also, if visiting elsewhere, and if illegal, I am sorry but I feel it is a large safety item so I will leave them burning brightly.
Hey you're a big boy and owe no one an apology. You made a reasoned decision. You either don't get stopped and life is grand or you do and you pay The Man. Either way it's a small price to pay for a potential safety buffer. Informed choices are good.cdnemsguy said:
How many of these are needed? Two plus spare? Just replace the current bulb, correct??Ohhh... and you are right around the corner. Howdy neighbor
Appreciate the input..

The amazon link comes with 2 bulbs, so you just remove the 2 existing bulbs and replace them with these 2 new ones. 10 minute job at most and you're done, I'm super happy with the results. Happy to help if you have other questions.

I have these bulbs plus a set of hyperlites that I mounted onto the rear side reflectors. Very happy with the results. I have hyperlites on my other bikes as well.
Just bought and installed these. I likey! Stock ST tail light/brake light really is kind of dim. Best $8.47 I ever spent!
Thanks for the post!
Thanks for the post!
I have been running these in both the ST and two of the GL brake lights for close to a year. They work well and will sure get someone's attention if they aren't looking at their phone.

Hey guys, I am new here and have been riding for the last 5 years. (I am a late starter.) I just bought a low milage '01 ST1100.
Any who, I found and bought this brake light flasher HERE and really like it. It is inexpensive and is programable. I liked it so much that I bought one for my sons bike and his ex-girlfriends bike. The bike I put it on has an LED brake light and set it to flash 5 times and then brake light stays lit (no flashing) every time the brakes are applied. I have had a lot of positive comments. I actually feel safer riding with it. I will tap my brakes several times (sometimes) just to be sure the driver behind me is aware I am slowing or stopping. I bought the "M1" model.
For full disclosure I am not affiliated in any way what so ever with this company other than i am a satisfied customer. I think it is a worthy addition to any bike.
