• 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.

new york and brake light question

Is there some flashing sequence for the brake lights that is not allowed in NYS?

I've purchased the GEN2 brake strobe for my GS.
 
I'm not sure of the legal part, but I see them all the time. To me, if it is safer than the law shouldn't matter. In this case, those are very noticable and IMO safer.
 
As long as they don't keep on flashing; ie after 3 or 4 flashes at a stop they stay on steady, But then who's counting. Most Cops won't stop you for that Unless your doing something else to get their attention.
 
You might want to dig around a bit in the New York's DMV website to see if they've got anything in there on this... :dontknow:
 
I ran sequential flashing brake lights on two V Max's for the past several years....they would flash 5 times then stay on....the bikes always passed inspection and I was never pulled over. I can't imagine you would be hassled for adding an obvious safety feature to your Spyder....unless, as previously mentioned, you had really irritated the LEO and he was looking for any and all violations to write you up on.

For peace of mind you could check with your inspection station, that's really where the rubber meets the road....if he passes it you're gtg!
 
I would like to know what the answer is regarding this. Not today though, I'm going for a 55 degree NYS March 7th ride. :clap::clap: I have totally wasted the hole container of Stabil this year. I can't keep gas in it long enough to do any good.

Man, you know THAT!! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
 
it's always good to have a LEO in the family! :2thumbs:

Where's he working out of??

He lives in Kingston and part of his duty is Accord. The reason I mention Accord is b/c he and rnet corrected my pronunciation of Accord. I have a Honda Accord and of course I pronounced it that way.Of course, he and rnet were very quick to correct me. Oh yeah, his substation is F-troop out of Ellenville.

I'm thinking of setting it up to flash a certain number of times, then stop for 3 sec., and then repeat until I take off.

I used led light bars from Custom Dynamics....3" I think, they have different configs, maybe got just what you're looking for.

Just curious but how do you pronounce Accord if Accord isn't right? :dontknow:
