    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Strobing LED brake light idea

  • Thread starter Thread starter Gibbelstein

The brake light modulator (and the speedo, for that matter) is very interesting,
but there are so many versions already available for the transfer of a few monetary credits,
you would really have to want something really "special" to do it yourself.

Steve: That's assuming the point is just to have it. There is something to be said for making it. There are a lot of DIY folks on this board for instance.

FWM: It probably varies by state/province/city, but that guy seemed to think it would pass the test in his area. That's not to say that even if it is "legal" you would be free from being harassed, er... pulled over regularly. :rolleyes:

Alot of riders don't understand this concept, they think without limit brighter is better.

As a rider myself, I hate seeing a rider with a strobe/modulating headlight or someone riding with the high beams on. It's distracting, blinding, and makes my ride unsafe. Brake lights are generally better but too bright is no good.
 
The strobing headlight always seems to me like someone has a charging problem.

Is it legal? :confused:

In most places, yes, but there might be some limitations.

Only one I know for sure is California, where it can flash for no more than four seconds before going steady, not sure if it can repeat or not.

There are Federal statutes on headlight modulators. They are legal everywhere, as long as they meet the statutes. Not only that, the wording in the statute makes it illegal for any 'lesser' government (state, county, local) to make them illegal. :o

I continue to use mine, but try to do so in a courteous manner.
