Hyper lites

[MBanks]

I saw basscliff mention these in another thread and i had been looking at them, but I didnt want to thread jack:

Anyone have any experience with hyperlites? See here: http://hyperlites.com/. I am looking for something to increase my visibility at night, mostly through brighter brakes. I am considering either LED that function just like brake (dim then bright when braking) or a flashing/modulating variant. I know these would be easy on the electrical system, as it is all LED. Anyone have any experience with these? Another product you might recommend over it? These are fairly cheap, so they are very attractive to me. I live on college campus and lots of inattentive drivers, not to mention the DUI's at night, so this additional visibility would be helpful!

Those are nice, I wired my tail light to have all the lights on the back of the bike to come on when the brake is pressed. It's pretty bright, and cheap too!

Hi,

Mr. kerrfunk installed a Hyperlite kit on the back of his bike and posted up a couple of videos. It was quite impressive.

Ya beat me to it, Mr. BassCliff. My helmet's off to you.

I like my Hyperlites. I bought 'em for my 550 and then when I bought the 1100 and sold the 550 I kept 'em.

In a year of riding I had one guy pull up next to me at a stoplight and ask about them. I was so flabbergasted (he was in a pickup truck and he pulled up next to me on the shoulder) I could hardly remember my own name, but I went to his place of business (the name was on the side of the truck) and gave him the info.

Every time I hit my brakes I remember that there's those little flashers, and it makes me happy.

There's a setting where they'll flash for a few seconds then go solid (that's what I have) and I think there's a setting where they just keep flashing.

Thanks for the vids, they really help me see how bright these little buggers are! I'm thinking of ordering the modulating version in the near future.

Kerrfunk,

Which kit did you install? The Universal?

I had to check the site 8-)

Yup. Universal. Two little banks of 8 flashing LEDs. Running lights / Brake lights. About a hundred bucks.

I have the Hyperlites on my 850. I first saw them following my brother's Concourse. They grab you attention so effectively, I decided I had to have a set. I need to remember to get a set for my 1000...
