Default Hyper lites

Saw a couple bikes with these lites on the tour pac. Very bright and gets your attention. Anyone have any experience with them? Any problems? They are LED's so should last a long time. Very resonable prices.

I've had them on my last 3 bikes....
My biggest fear is getting hit from behind at a stoplight..

I put them on my E.G. a few weeks ago, using the license plate mount they have. I have definately noted that vehicles tend to stop further behind me since. I've used them on other bikes, and love them, and their cost is minimal.

Same here, license plate mounted for almost 4 years now set up to flash. Great investment and worth every penny. Very bright and a real attention getter.

I have them on the license plate mount too. Set to blink continuously when braking. Also have BAL-1 and run/turn/brake conversion. Almost forgot, I added the fender tip light conversion for brake light too. The Hyper-Lites are the only added fixtures but I now have eight brake lights on the Ultra. The Hyper-Lites are a subtle but very effective add on.

Any bike.
Can 2 sets be added? I'm thinking of the license plate and the bottom of the tour pak.
Will they blink in unison with each other or randomly? Or maybe 4 units in a row under the tour pak.
The ones I saw sure got my attention.

You can put multiple units on but I'd guess blinking would be random unless the light pods were spliced into one flasher. Can't see why you couldn't do that. No significant power draw. Go to their web site. They have bigger light pods that might work for you as is.
