Default BAL vs CD Magic Strobe

Posted this over in the lighting forum but it wasn't getting any love so moved it here:

Had a 2011 Road Glide Ultra with Bright *** Lights tail light on it. I LOVED that tail light. It would strobe (not flash) before turning on a brake light so bright you could see back of cagers heads in the car behind you at night.

Now have 2016 Road Glide standard which as you know doesn't have the center brake light. I've upgraded the rear to LEDs and yeah they're bright but I want something even more attention getting.

I've watched the YouTube videos of the CD Magic strobe and on video it looks promising but sometimes those videos can be deceiving especially when dealing with flashing lights.

For you magic strobe owners: is it worth it? Does it actually strobe the lights or just flash them? Basically looking for recommendations.

Thanks.

I have the Custom Dynamics lights on my Streetglide and I have the magic strobes on there as well. I use number 6 setting which is amazing at getting peoples attention. So much so that a couple of guys I ride with ordered the flasher unit as well. It's one of those things you cannot not look at. It lets people know I am stopping for sure.
The Custom Dynamics lights are so bright. With the flasher unit as well...AMAZING. "IMO"

I ordered this one for my bike. No splicing wires just simple plug in and turn on.
5 year warranty on it and lifetime on their LED's how can you go wrong.
