    Indeed!
    Again. mine was an older model. I wanted attention, but I didn't want it to be continuously irritating to whomever is behind me.
    The flash 3x then go steady fit that bill - for me. If I let go and squeeze again, it flashes again then goes steady.

    Others want different effects - there were videos on the Whelen site that show different patterns.
    Cheers,

    I had the Kuryakyn "Hockey Stick" LEDs with the flasher on a prior F6B which looked great but didn't provide enough of that BACK OFF feature when braking.

    Actually bought those, but never installed them.
    Thought they looked "silly" on a black F6B - too much like a jack-o-lantern - when I saw them on Steve 0080's back end.

    BTW.. Don't even think about using blue lights or you will see more blue lights than the ones on your bike

    Running ANY color light in a flashing or strobe form can cause unwanted attention - discounting headlight modulation and flashing brake lighting - and even that has gotten me some "professional commentary."
    Running blue lights in any position and/or red lights in a forward firing position could also generate significant "delays in your travel time."

    I had the Kisan Tailblazer on mine when I got kissed from behind, no amount of modulation is going to help when an idiot is texting but every little bit helps. Why it's upside down I'll never know, it started right side up - must be the Russian hacking

    Wonder where that bike is now????? I solved the need for more brake light problem and 53 it looks more like a Christmas tree than a Jack-O-Lantern.

    Got it installed today. Set up to flash 5 x same as the brake light then will continue as the bike's brake light stays on. Could have had it also set up as a running light but seemed a little too much.
    Feel a little safer anyway.
