Default Simple Modification

Living in the Philippines, I ride through small villages with small streets congested with traffic and pedestrians. Anything that draws attention to my bike, Loud Pipes, Loud Horn is a Safety Plus.

My Fatboy has Auxiliary lights wired to a 2 way switch. On or Off. Nothing new here. I discovered that by installing a 3 way switch and wiring in an Automotive Emergency Flasher Relay, I now have three Aux light settings. Off, On Full, or Flashing. Simple and cheap!

When I was a kid, we used to install those in the horn circuit on our cars. Changes the tone quite a bit & the pause between the "blares" is pretty cool as well..

Tell me more on the horn circuit thing. I'm interested it that for my bike and my cage.

Learn something new every day. Thats the beauty of this site and one of the main reasons I joined this website. I been riding nearly 40 years and it seems I still come on here and learn something new or see something new every time I log on here. It's costly but very informative.

It's a cool idea, but double check local motor vehicle laws. Here in NJ I'm pretty sure the flashing lights are a big NO-NO. They look too much like a motor cop or emergency vehicle.

Hmm, the horn idea does give me pause for thought.......

Is this flashing or a headlamp modulator? If its the latter I know it's legal in NY at least. It's no different then turning your high beams on and off.
