Wow kind of glad I waited, I'll order mine in a week or two I want to see if these diodes will actually fix the current Issues

Received my Friday. I emailed CD Friday night but with the weekend I haven't heard back. Installed it this AM am and went on a ride with wife riding behind. No issues so far. I have all CD LED upgrades on back including Tri Bar and added Plasma Rods.

Safety Issue

I don't see how they can feel good about selling this product at full price for us to beta test it. In my opinion they should have sent out a dozen to people to test in the real world for free. Or at the very least given it to us at 50% off to test it...

Thanks for the info Webo.

Got mine yesterday and was planning to install today. "Turn signals not functioning correctly" WTF! This is a HUGE safety issue. I just email CD and inquired if my unit has the issue.

I purchased this flasher to INCREASE my visibility and hence my safety - not decrease it. I'll throw it in the Fing garbage before putting it on my bike.

Mine works fine so far but I also have the CD LED's. She did say that even bikes with LED's would have symptoms pop up over time without the extra diodes but so far everything works great. It's very aggravating to pay full retail cost for a unit that will need an external mode to work correctly. And considering they have had two years to design this unit it makes me wonder if adding the diodes will be the last change. Hell if they haven't figured it out 100% by now I'm worried that additional changes are coming. Now if the unit would have been free to test I wouldn't sweat it one bit. But we paid full price to test it for them...damn....

I'm considering just sending mine back for a refund and waiting 6 months for them to work the bugs out of them. Not only do I need the diodes, one of my switches won't move.

I'm also a little concerned about this thing causing some damage to the wiring or other components. I don't know if that is possible but it's a problem I don't need.

Being that is was CD that asked me to be a guinea pig, I thought it would go better than this. I thought they would have had their act together considering the quality of their other products.

You know I was kinda thinking the same thing. In the back of my head I was wondering what if this think was to mess up the damn canbus system or something even worse. I want to think they have their stuff together and know what they are doing but I've lost some confidence over this thing. I still have the stock tri-bar light so either it's going back in exchange for the tri bar light or they are going to have to refund me some money. This just isn't right to pay them to do beta testing.
