I've seen some clips on YouTube when I was doing research on Samson cholos and noticed when some guys were filming their exhaust, that the rear lights would pulsate almost to the rythem of the exhaust. I am wondering what they are called and who makes them? Are they a wiring kit? Thanks

 

Sounds like a problem to me

 

lol, I'll try to find the video to post. It looks pretty cool, and the videos I've seen all been viclas.

 

It might honestly be the video. If you look at a lot of the new LED lights on cars or cycles that are being filmed by a camera, the camera creates a pulsating illusion(might be the camera or might be the LEDs). This may or may not be what you're talking about but I've seen it on numerous youtube videos.

 

I had a "Brightasslight" on my Road King, it was terrific. They don't make one for the tombstone tail light on my Springer but I could get a run turn brake controller that would do it....Kuryakn make one...but I just do it with my hand on the front brake when I'm first in line at a light.

The Brightasslight has several pulse settings, perhaps one matches the cadence of a HD? I never checked.

 

what comes my mind is those pulsating brake lights, they blink 2-3 times before they stay on for the duration

 

If you're talking about a constant pulsating, not just when the brakes are applied, it's a result of the leds and the video camera.

They're not really doing that, they just appear to.

 

+1 on Onecoolpilot. It's the frequency of the LED's vs. the frame rate of the video. They don't match so it looks like it's 'flickering'. Next time you're watching TV and there's a TV in the show, it will do the same thing.
You can sometimes see the same thing on YouTube videos where there's a TV in the background.

 

That makes sense. Thanks

 

I have mine set up like that as well as my rear blinkers. Its a module that you wire in and yes, I have a tombstone tail light. I can't for the life of me remember the name though. Goggle motorcycle pulsating brake light and see what comes up. There was one just a few weeks ago on this forums front page.

EDIT: And yes again, it's only when I hit my brakes.
