Has anyone tried to install a brake light modulator on their scoot? I thought it was a great addition to my motorcycle and was wondering about adding it to my Vino.
There are also light bulbs that you can replace the stock ones with that will blink when the brake is applied
Bright Halogen replacement bulb for your tail lights. The 10W-D replaces dual contact bulbs used for tail and brake lights. Microelectronic circuits are embedded in the base of the bulb allows the bulb to flash several times when you apply the brakes, then stays on constantly much brighter than regular bulbs. Maximum wattage is 10watts. Includes spare halogen bulb.

I need to see if they would work.

I was thinking of going to LEDs.

be careful and make sure the flashing bulbs work.. I almost took out a harley that had that done... The lady who drove it apparently had the light changed to flash but they didn't test it or something as it didn't stay bright when the brake was applied...

I almost took her out... I also flagged her down and let her know... Lucky for her she was in "moderate" traffic... Supprised she didn't get killed...

I put one on my zuma. It flashes 10 times quickly, then stays steady.
I have a separate unit that I bought for $20. I run 1 LED 1157 and 2 1156 on both sides in the "shaved blinker area". The 1156's are connected to my brake light wire.
So the whole taillight is dedicated to stop lights and I kept my stock blinkers where they are.
It works great! The thing explodes with red when I apply the brakes.

After my wife and kids were hit by a drunk driver, I'm not taking any more chances whatsoever on my life. I figure $20 is worth my life!

I just installed the "Back Off" modulator as well as some LEDS. Both are hard wired, regular brake light blinks 3 times, then steady, then repeats, LED's flash while brake is applied.

Hopefully it gets peoples attention. mine also explodes with Red when the brkes are applied.
