Hi All,

I was just looking around on Ebay and came across this little jewel of a device for setting up a momentery, flashing, brake lights.

It fully adjustable for how many flashs and the length of the flash.
Looks darn cool to me.

This item would work well on the SWing"s brake lights. I could make this a plug and play mod for anyone who wants one.

This looks like it is a single brake light flashing with an interesting twist to control flash rate and time.

I have the BackOff Wig-Wag on my LED lights under the aluminum wing, which allows side-by-side "Wig-Wag".

Make sure you know your local laws:

- some did not allow modification to stock brake lights, but not a problem for additional non-stock lights
- some specified how long your flashing could occur

WE are not allowed to flash... anywhere. darn it!!

OK...I just rode up to the local Police station and talked to the the Sargent on duty and also talked to the local Sherif department officer about the adding a flasher to my scooters brake light system. They said it was OK all the way up to the Federal level and they are the maxium authority on this subject here in the U.S.

Now Kurt, The word "Flasher" has a whole new meaning when it come' to your day to day and I can see why it's illegal. You Old Fart.

Hi All,

I just recived the unit in and tested it on a 12V system and it worked great. When I get it installed, I will try my hand at uploading a short video of the new brake light action.

I just installed the flasher on my SWing. Took about 20 minuets to get the the job done. Hears the set-up installed. I just used the stock Honda cable harness tie to secure the unit to the frame.

Great Item Dennis! I ordered one last week and installed it over the weekend. Works like a champ, worth the $14 bucks all day. the package is small like a match book (the ebay pic makes it look larger) but small is better in this case. I hooked mine to the stock tail light and the AUX brake light I added to my top box (it operates the stock bulbs and the led strip). Like you, I adjusted it down to blink 4X and hold. Great product. I will try to add some pics today.

Good to know we are Legal right up thru the Federal regs!

Ya know $14.95 with free shipping is a steal on this item. I went on a google search and found a place that had them for $55.00 +shipping. We got a hell of a deal on this great item.

BTW this was my first time to place a movie on the forum. I hope you all liked it. Not much of a story but one flashy ending.

from e-bay.

Cannot see exactly where you connected the wiring. May take my SWing to a dealer to install when it arrives:(

Hi Mel,

Works great and easy install.

Can you tell me where and how you make your connections ? thanks

Hi Frank,

I have never felt good about cutting the stock Honda wiring harness, so I created a plug and play pigtail that just plugs into the harness connectors. If you would like one, I can make you one for $26.00 and mail it to you. All you would need to do is crimp the same color wire together. Red to Red, Black to Black, and White to White. Send me a "PM" if you want one.

Just a bump to get this brake flasher system back on top.

Nice job Dennis, video was good too.

Wes

I'm also interested in purchasing a unit - sent an email [I think].

Rick,

You got it... but your going to need to buy the ebay flasher that I mensioned earlier.

OK, here's the cost stack-up for the Honda Silverwing Scooters adjustable, Plug and Play Brake Flasher System.

$15.99 - Adjustable Flasher unit, cost off EBay and Free Shipping.
$26.00 - My custom made connector.
$ 2.00 - Shipping cost for connector.
---------
$43.99 Total, shipped to your home in the U.S.

My promise to you, If you can find a less expensive, True Plug and Play, adjustable, brake flasher unit built for the Honda Silverwing Scooter, I'll match the price and shipping.

Dennis, I would like to purchase one of the brake light kits. I was going to send a PM, but I do not have that option or an option to post new messages. Thanks, Don

Hey Don,

Looks like the ebay seller raised his prices again to $17.99 would you want me to purchase the flasher and build the kit for you?

Yes, that is fine. Do you know how I can get my swing account here fixed. It does not allow me to PM or create new posts. Do you know if your connector will work on the Honda VTX ? If so I would like 2 sets.

Just sent you a test PM.

Sorry, I do not see the PM. I have tried Firefox and Internet Explorer with the same results.

Do you see the "PM" button at the top of the main page. It is in the Navagation page. So far you are the only one that has experienced this problem that I can remember. Please get back to me if you get it or not.

Thanks,

JeffR

I do not see that.

Hi Don, I checked your profile information and setup and everything looks normal at this end. You might want to check your browser setup on your PC.

Thanks for the email Dennis. I sent the $$ to you via paypal. Thank you again.

Hi Don, I just put order in for your brake light flasher off ebay. It will take a few days to get in. I will email you when the kit ships.

Thank You very much.

Dennis, I received the modulator and wiring harness today. I guess I will have something to do while it rains.
Thanks again for the fast service.

Hi Don,

You are very welcome. Give this a try. Open seat and on the rear inside of the trunk, open the rear, left, light access panel. The Honda rear light connector is right there. Make the connect and velcro the flasher unit to the back of the removeable left panel and make the adjustment on your flasher unit. Close her up and your ready to ride.
