    Default All in one rear light options and can you unstrobe a strobe brake light?

    I wanted to install spyderpops BRT(brake, running, turn) led lights but I can not get it without the strobing brake lights. Is there another option from different vendors? Spyderpop says it’s embedded in the lights and can’t em without it.
    Just not a fan of strobing brake lights.
    Thank you in advance.

    FWIW, last Saturday on way home from a ride I was approached by a gent in a WallyWorld parking lot who said he specifically wanted to tell me how neat he thought my adjustable Custom Dynamics brake strobe light (no longer produced) was. I've received comments from Spyder owners but his was the first from a cager.

    I have a flashing trunk light and when I am at a stoplight, I keep an eye on my mirrors and as a car is approaching from behind me, I apply the brake again to resume the flashing. But mine flashes fast three times slow three times and then goes on steady.

    Curious. Why do you say that? You're not one looking at it! I've gotten a few comments about how noticeable it is when I'm braking and my brake lights are strobing.

    I have been behind bikes with strobe brake lights and found them to be too distracting.

    If that is the ShowChrome version, Value Accessories has the same thing without the strobe for $145.

    I just installed the unit we got last month in Maggie Valley. It's not wired yet, but it's mounted.
    Have some more lights to add, then will take the rear end apart just ONCE and do them all.

    Isn't that the point? I personally know 3 riders who have been rear ended at stops. I consider a flashing tail light cheap life insurance.

    I particularly favor flashing brake lights when I am riding amongst bikers whom I don't know and do not ride with frequently.

    Do you realize the ones from Spyderpops only strobe a few seconds and then go solid? They do not strobe continuously so as not to be distracting once you notice them.

    Whenever I've been behind a bike with flashing lights, I always found them distracting.
    I had the custom dynamics High Mount Brake Light installed on my 2014 Spyder.
    The only problem I ever had was the light interfered when I installed the ShowChrome luggage rack.
    I needed to add the spacers to clear the light.
    Here's a link.

    That's why I used the Rivco luggage rack. You can see the light under the rack.

    I figure if I’m bothered by them there would be plenty others that are also bothered by them so...

    This is what I put on my trunk light. 3 fast flashes, 3 longer flashed, then on steady. I strongly advise not using the Scotch Locks it comes with.

    This is on his product page. https://spyderpops.com/rt-high-mount...ecial-harness/
    WE THEN ADDED A STROBE MODULE TO MAKE THE BRAKE LIGHT STROBE 3 TIMES FAST, 3 TIMES SLOW AND HOLD.
    You can get this unit from Big Bike Parts and elsewhere without the strobe module. The module is a Spyderpops add-on.

    I know that Custom Dynamics makes some good products (I have a few),
    but they are evidently REALLY proud of that one.

    A woman at Custom Dynamics told me they discontinued the plug and play adjustable brake light flashing system because RT owners preferred the high mount third brake light when I was trying to source the former for a friend.

    It's "only" $30 more than the Show Chrome one!!!! If you buy the Show Chrome one from Spyderpops you get the strobe module free!!! If you really want to conserve your wallet paper get some TruFlex LED strips from Custom Dynamics. You're on your own for connecting into the bike harness but if you're handy that's not a big deal. CD has a wide variety of colors and sizes. That's what I had on my trunk until the boys at Pit Bull Motorsports goofed and ripped them off thinking my bike was the one that was supposed to have a CD High Mount light mounted on it. They were very considerate and since they had cut the power leads completely off LED strips as they pulled them off so couldn't put them back, they replaced it gratis with a CD HM unit!
