 An interesting LED safety idea
While at GoldWing's WingDing in Billings, MT. I saw this idea:
If this link doesn't work right, go to: http://www.getlightningstrike.com/ find the demo video.
The price is $250 which I think is too high. A replacement push button switch is $115, which is IMO out of line.
I think the idea is a good one.

Other than design some custom mounts and housings for LED running lights on Harley's and Hondas, I am not sure what they are showing that is in any way new or different? What did I miss?

What I'm thinking that using these on any bike, would make you more visible. If they are amber you shouldn't have any issues as for cops. I saw the actual units and straight on they are bright. In many ways these are like using a headlight modulator. Anything to be better seen, is my idea.

Won't fly here in Cali either, doesn't matter the color. If it is flashing it isn't legal. Just like idiots that drive with their flashers on, it isn't legal and will get you a ticket....

Rather go with the modulating headlight myself Has been out few more years & has jumped most the legal hurdles Would be good if could apply to just the fog lights or running lights on fenders.

Wouldn't fly in WI either. Those are nothing more than simple LEDs that can be had for far less than that price from Galls. Being a driver of Fire and EMS apparatus, white/clear up front, is pretty much all that gets anyone's attention in the daylight, and it has to be BRIGHT and flashing.

Might be illegal
I think it might be illegal in some states. Some states get real picky about lighting like that. I know the state patrol in Washington would have field day with something like that.

Red or of course blue strobe lights will get most of us in trouble.
I have had an idea for sometime to have LED white strobe lights not only on the front but on both sides of a bike....warn people you are coming and also when going through intersections...both high crash zones.
Just dont know how to wire up a flashing stobe. Anything to be seen !

and I like the idea... But our traffic laws are often enforced in an erratic manner.
