Put the Dynamic Ringz on last night. I like 'em a lot. I'll be out this weekend with all the drunk Mradi Gras revelers on the roads. Extra light and a more noticeable bike profile are what I was looking for and these seem to be the right answer. And I will get flashed! I have nice beads!

WITHOUT HEADLIGHT ON:
WITH HEADLIGHT ON:
Lo 1:
I also had a guy tailgate me once with his high beams on. I made a couple of turns and he stayed behind me. Luckily I was in my home town so I just drove to the police station. The guy actually followed me, then seemed to realize where he was when I pulled into the parking lot. He beat a hasty retreat then! lol

I have the Dynamic Ringz and love them. I didnt notice much extra light but I do like that are different and catch attention. I had people flash their high beams at me with my stock headlight I think people count the lights and just automatically flash. Yeah, they are bright but not blinding. I put the Phase 7 on a few weeks ago, but only was out once at night but it makes a BIG difference.
Next is the Custom Dynamic driving lights for the engine guard...undecided on white or yellow though.

I'm sure I'll pi$$ a few people off.... but.....
I don't get this "I don't care who I bother as long as they see me" attitude.
If you are blinding oncoming traffic with your lights, that can be dangerous to you, them, and other cars on the road.
Seems there are too many people around these days who care only about themselves....

I see every single day, no exaggeration, whether in my cage or on my bike.... TEXTING, people cutting across lanes to not miss a turn, TEXTING, zig zagging lane to lane desparately trying to gain a couple of car lengths, TEXTING, cell phone la la land, TEXTING, eating, TEXTING, putting on makeup, TEXTING, and on and on.
I'm not a jerk though, if someone flashes me cause I have my brights on during the daylight.....I'll immediately turn them off. I only run them during the day, normal beams on at night. In fact, I was specifically told by a motorcop to always run my brights during daylight hours to help being seen.
But when on my bike.........I DO care about others and not just myself...........My two daughters, girlfriend, family and friends....and even YOU and all my two-wheeled brethren!
Ride safe!!

Just a thought here guys.
I once had a woman pull up next to me, motion for me to lower my window, and tell me that one of my lights was out. It then dawned on me why several other drivers had flashed their lights as they passed me.
So, check all your lights before assuming that they're trying to tell you that your lights are too bright.

Yes. It draws much less power and needs the load equalization to keep the flash rate accurate. Also prevents possible fault codes in your ECM. Get the one that doesn't require a power wire, Biketronics I think.

So far I don't seem to need the load equalizer. The flash rate seems good. I do have lighted saddlebag latches that also flash as turn signals. So I may have more load on the flasher circuit than some bikes.
