High Mount Brake Light

[spydermanstever]

Does anyone know of a company that makes a high mount brake light for the Spyder RT that could be mounted on the trunk lid?

Custom Dynamics

They are a sponsor look on the home page.

You could have told him who the sponsor is.

I did

Its in the Title of the reply. But here it is "Custom Dynamics"

Custom Dynamics IMHO is the very best, made for the RT Spyder, and the safest with modulation while you are stopped and foot on the brake. I have had them on both my Spyders.

Make your own for $35.

You want custom dynamic, it looks like it came with the bike! Easy installation, plug and use!

This is a perfect example of what happens when someone uses the title of a messa

ge as part of what should really be the body of the message. It often doesn't make much sense - especially once the message is quoted. Also, it drives many members nuts, as they read down the messages within a thread without necessarily paying much attention to the individual message titles.

Nothing personal ...just my opinion.

:agree: When I look at mine, I have a hard time remembering that it was a farkle, rather than part of the original bike. It just looks like it always belonged there.

TricLEDs also has one... :thumbup:
I've put their other two brakelights, on both of my bikes, and really have been happy with the results...

It is the modulation/flashing while stopped with brake pedal engaged that sets the Custom Dynamics heads above the rest. Something about a bright flashing red light that gets peoples attention. There are many different patterns of flashing that can be dialed in with a small knob.

It is definitely the flashing that makes it a safer brake light.

If nothing else, if a car/truck approaches from behind pump your brakes until you see them slowing and stopping. That's what we used to do before all the fancy technology came along.

If you are going to get hurt on a M/C or ? it will be getting hit from behind or some one making a left turn in front of you. These two top the list.

Jack, you are correct, however it does not always save you. In 2001, I was at a stop light with my feet on the ground on my 1995 GW 1500. I had the flashing stop light. I saw this pickup coming several hundred feet back and figured he would stop. I was watching the light to change. He did not stop. I have the stop lights on both my GW 1800 and Spyder. It is safer for sure, but as we know, not fool(s) proof.

FYI: He was a 21 YO with a 20 YO girl with him and did not apply his brakes....Knocked the Wing 20' and me 30'. I was solo but had I had a passenger, they would not have done well. It pushed the trunk against my backrest and jammed the drive shaft into the transmission case. They had to tow the pickup away with bent front axel. I only had six ribs broken and road rash....I was 1/2 mile from home and the policeman took my helmet to my home and told my wife that I was on my way to the hospital. With three huge gashes in my helmet, he told her I would not be here without the helmet and protective gear.

Another vote here for the Custom Dynamics trunk/brake light. Have put them on all three of my RT's. The last two were installed before I drove the RT's off the lot.

The HMT's might not help with all idiots. Once you make something idiot proof, you will find out how amazingly resourceful idiots are...

I do like my HMT and any added level of protection is good, even if not perfect.

Thanks I did not know that. I will keep that in mind.

Bob's gonna hate me but what's done is done. Spent $40 Canadian on this set of lights. Didn't break the bank though. Followed his video (very helpful) and after 3 hours of planning and fishing wires all done. Very bright lights! Rainy day here so may as well work on the bike.
Bought lights from Parts Source.

Walmart also has started stocking LED strips: http://www.walmart.com/search/?query=auto led strip&typeahead=AuTO led STRIPS

Make up your own with some LED's of your choice. Finless provides a nice install video on how to do it. Not done with mine yet, but I saved $175 buying LEDs off the shelf. Can't see spending that kind of money on lights. To each his own though:thumbup:
