Well on a good note I had a couple of riders behind me this weekend and they all commented on how bright and noticeable the brake lights are with the magic strobes. Most thought the lights were cool at first and after riding behind me all day were a bit annoyed with how bright they were...lol

I stopped by the Custom Dynamics trailer at Thunderbeach today. Each one of the magic strobes they had on display had the diodes externally with positaps. I wonder how long it take for them to sell all the crappy ones and get to a new batch.

Ok installed mine and my turn signals (custom dynamics led clusters)strobe and my tri bar strobes(tri bar is a custom dynamics too) but my plasma rods do not. Those I have hooked up as brake only. Does anyone plasma rods strobe? If so how do you have them hooked up and where?
Thanks

I love the CD stuff I have....

But it sounds like the "magic" in this unit is making your wallet lighter....

My Tri Bar, tail lights & Plazma rods all strobe.
Below is from post 75 on how to hook up


"Just got off the phone with Kim and she walked me through the hookup to make sure the plasma rods worked with everything else.
The strobe unit has to be ahead of everything else going out to the rear fender and the red wires from the plasma rods had to be posi-tapped to the red wire on the outgoing side of the strobe unit.
Everything works perfect now. She was great! We did try a couple of different ways first before she found the right combination."

So that means you have the run brake kit right? If so let me know how and where you hooked up everything and I will do the same ?
