• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Anyone got a rear tail/brake stobe effect set-up?

Making a separated thread as suggested (from my cluster glass issue).

I am thinking to add a module for the rear brakes that will strobe the light (with the hope that I make it more evident for people behind me that I am braking).

I was looking at this module: Swess GS-100A.

However this module works for LED bulbs... so I was also thinking to replace the tail bulbs with these:

If anyone did this (or at least anything similar)... did you had any issues with the setup (CANBUS errors or whatnot)?

as picky as the can buss system is on these bikes I think you are headed for nothing but frustration

Could be... that's why I am here asking the questions.
Maybe someone did something similar before and there is a way.

if a tail light burns out or if you put an led bulb in it will go into limp mode i wouldnt bother not worth the drive home in limp at 30 mph been there done that good luck
 
I have the TricLED on my 14 RT and have no issues with it. It plugs right into the cables with no cutting. Easy install

I don't necessarily want to switch to LED... if I can find a strobe module that works with the normal bulbs, I am OK with that as well.

I installed this flasher in the third brake/tail light that's in the trunk. I am pleased with the results, very attention grabbing. I did not use the furnished connectors, don't like that type. Used Posi-Locks instead.

Would you be willing to show some pictures with the setup of your trike?
Thanks!

Do you have a link? I have to be honest I do not know what is the Tirkled... :(

Mr. Newt.....The bad news is, I didn't take pictures. The good news is, it's so simple. Open the cavity in the top case, determine which of the two wires to the light are + & -, cut both, splice the box into those wires (black is ground) and you're done after putting the light back.
 
I have the Trciled Strobe, it works very well had it going 2 years, also I added the 3rd brake light with strobe and no problems there either.
 
I will ask again if anyone can tell me more about this "Tirkled / Trciled" strobe light... I did some search but nothing came up :|.

If not, then I will be going for something else - I have found a module that apparently works with the Incandescent bulbs, so no need for LED lights.
The unit is called FlashFast 60 Watts... hopefully will work :).
 
The Tricled strobe looks exactly like and has the exact same strobe patterns as the RT Magic Strobe that Custom Dynamics used to but no longer sells.
 
Sweet -thank you guys!

I will have a look, compare and I will be placing an order on one of them sometime this week :).

Is not really going to work on the RS-S.
Also, I would like to not add anything extra... re-using the stock lights is ideal...

Speaking of, I think I will be going for the TricLed option; no additional light, everything seems to be plug and play and its re-using the stock lights (which is exactly what I want).

Thanks all! :)
 
Update... received the TricLED and love it - easy plug and play install, no issues so far.
Thanks all for the help!
