    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Circuit design question

Can someone explain what I'd use to create a circuit that would enable me to add an LED light strip that's activated by my brake light such that it would flash (anywhere from 1- X number of times) before either remaining on or off?
I looked at several sites for hobbyists but didn't find what I am looking for.
A link to a website or product site would be great and appreciated.

While I appreciate the creativity and enthusiasm, you sure you want to take on a project that already has multiple commercial applications?

There are MANY products already available that will flash your brake lights. Some of the more-affordable ones are about $20-25, others can cost well over $125. I have seen examples from both ends of the spectrum and happen to own several of them (most happen to be from the pricier end of the spectrum :oops:).

Thanks Steve. I was hoping for something as easy as an inexpensive, readily available module, of sorts, that I could wire in. I took a look at whats available on ebay, after reading your response, and saw a couple that should work for less than $20. What I'm looking at doing is installing a couple of LED strips in my taillight housing that will flash when I hit the brakes. Anything to be seen.
Thanks

OK, here are a few choices for you:

Custom Dynamics $13

Kapscomoto $16

Comagination $25-30

Kahtech $26-32

Signal Dynamics $36

Hyperlites $56-99

Kisan $80

Kriss $95

Admore Lighting $130 :eek:

I have the Kisan model that is in the link above on my 850, "Junior". Besides the stock light, it is also connected to a quad LED license frame.
I have another Kisan model that is specific to my GoldWing. On my wife's bike, we have a pair of the smaller Hyperlites and the Admore light.
You really can't help but notice that we have hit the brakes. :cool:
