flashing brake lights
I know different states have different laws regarding lights... here in Oklahoma, I'm not completely sure what our laws are, but I have a set of "night riderz" LED lights on the rear of my bags. The LED's scroll back & forth during "running light mode", then when the brakes are applied they flash 5 times before going solid.
I have had several law enforcement vehicles behind me and have had no problems... have even had several compliments on how noticeable they make my bike. I would highly suggest them to anyone. I got them from Custom Dynamics.

flashing brake lights
I've got the "RearAlert" modulator - flashes 6-7 times then stays on steady until you release/reapply the brakes. Works great - easy install - and I've been told by people following me very effective at getting their attention.

flashing brake lights
I put additional LED brake lights on and connected all brake lights to a Back Off flasher. Four quick flashes, then about 4 seconds steady on, then repeats until you let go of the brake.
Had a motorcycle LEO compliment the set up when he pulled up beside me at a red light. So I would have to think it's legal in Nevada.

I seen the brake lights on several bikes when at South East Rally and instantly wanted. Although I haven't gotten around to buying yet I did find this link also for Hyperlites. Good Luck!

Not surprising, since this thread is 7 years old.

Flashing brake light
I work in the automotive field. There are some photometric values that must be met regarding FMVSS108. Typically, your brake light must overpower your tail light by a certain percentage. Otherwise, trailing traffic might not be able to tell you've hit the brakes. Outside of that, flashing typically does not violate any FMVSS108 rules especially if you "added" the trunk light. As long as your added brake light is in the red color (not blue, green, yellow, etc...). Your original brake light, if still installed, will satisfy the FMVSS108 requirement all by itself. Does the flashing stop? I've seen some lighting that flashes initially but that's only for about 2 seconds and then goes to solid brake light. This is intended to get the attention of following drivers that you're stopping. I can not speak to any individual state laws about lighting however, FMVSS is the "Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard". It's federal. Canada has it's own CMVSS but follows FMVSS very closely. Check your local laws for verification but from what you've described, I wouldn't think you've violated any FMVSS rules.
Hope that helps. |
