I have the Brightass lights brake light and just added the Custom Dynamics LED turn signals and Tourpak lights all with RTB. I just gently squeeze the brake and all those lights flashing and strobing back there will make most idiots back off
Not really good for the bike......but I warn my wife that I'm going to "Bang" the a$$hat.....then I keep my throttle open.......turn the bike off.......wait 5-6 seconds......then turn the bike back on. The ensuing BANG and 6' flame shooting from the tail pipes usually gets them to back off. Like I said.....I don't do it often. But when it doesn't work, the lug nut option works pretty well.
I did that one time on the freeway at night on my KZ1000 with a 4 in to 1 header It was so loud it made my ears ring and lit up the back of the bike like hight noon the a-hole almost ran off the road and never got close to me again
i never leave home without a pocket full of broken spark plugs. toss a handfull over the shoulder... no more tailgaters. was stopped once but i explained harleys have been known to lose parts while going down the freeway. excuse didnt work. spent three months in county... no biggie. worked out... got stronger, hung out with my car and giggled about the *** hole driver that did a 360 across two lanes. he was on my back wheel flashing his head lights and i had no where to go.... felt i had to defend myself. thats my story and my attorney said to never change it... lol
If you tried the lug nut thing on one of the crazy red necks around here you better have a fast bike because the EMTs would be fishing your azz out of a ditch

If at all possible, pull over, let them pass, don't flip them off, don't throw things, etc.
I know that's hard to do - my often hot headed self included - but there are too many stories out there of riders being maimed, paralyzed or killed in these situations.
Just not worth it.
I'll live to ride another day, and those clowns are going to hell anyway.

Same around here! They'd chase you down and run over you if they could.

That's what I'm trying to say. Heck - never mind rednecks - even a teenage girl with a bad attitude in car can destroy a rider's life.
Cells phones, texting, tailgating, road rage ... man, this world is changing and not for the good.
In my younger days I had a baggie of marbles taped to the handlebars. Now I just slow down and give myself extra room and pull over when it is safe for me.
