    The link is a little hard to see on the original post. Link is on the word "THIS."

    Dweisman, I think you got something here. I've got a BackOFF XP but its for a single bulb circuit so I wasn't wild about using it on the dual brake lights. I will add this before I add the BackOFF.

    MRB68...this one also flashes the entire time the brake is on. I don't care though...let it flash. Lol

    53Driver has a Whelen unit which is very comparable in size and I believe he mentioned that his will flash then go steady. But it is also $65 or more. And I realize that is still not a bad price for a little extra safety, but $20 I like better.

    Agreed, I haven't been to the inspection station yet to see if it's ok to have it that way or not.

    I have the Whelen and mine can not do the flash then steady. Its one or the other. Maybe he has a backoff module in the circuit?

    In Texas...I've never had an inspection problem with a flashing brake light on a motorcycle.

    I don't think adding a light would be a problem. The loss of the rear reflector might be a problem in some states. Not something I would worry about, I've removed many side reflectors but we do not have inspections.

    No Inspections would rock! They check everything here, they even grab your risers and shake them to check the bearings in the neck. At the end they pull out the decibel thing and check your exhaust reading. I think they lowered it again here in NH to 92, I'm glad I kept my factory exhaust !

    As much as I like not having to take stuff thru inspection...I really wish some of the piles of junk rolling around here would.

    As for the relector, you could very easily just move it under the license plate
