| I'm contemplating adding an Admore light bar bolted to the rear wing just under my GIVI V46 mount. That way when the lighted top box is off the bike, I will still have a set of high visibility LED lights. I'm looking for feedback on the 2 different light bars by Admore. The product URL's are:
http://www.admorelighting.com/index.php?page=products/index.php&subpage=4
and:
http://www.admorelighting.com/index.php?page=products/index.php&subpage=5
Feedback appreciated. |

| Hi Terry, Give this a look at, the LB01: http://www.customdynamics.com/Light_bars.htm#Ultra_LED_Light_Bars_ This would work well with the brake light flasher you got off ebay and they are only $24.95 a copy off the web sight. |

| Thanks Dennis. I looked at the LB01 and just ordered it. MUCH cheaper than the Admore stuff and it looks like it will work perfectly with the new controller. Thanks for the suggestion. |

| I added one of the Custom Dynamics blinking brake lights a few months ago. It works well and definitely adds to your visibility.
I worked through the access panel in the trunk. It was difficult. Since then, I have taken the side panel of the scoot off and found that it is easier to do that than it is to work through the interior panel. |

| One thing the Europeans have to consider is that we're not allowed to use modulators on headlights or brake lights so have to be a bit careful in what we buy from the States. One can turn off the three brake-light flashes on the Admore bar although I'm going to risk using that feature as it is only three brief 'modulations'. _________________ Mike - Riding on the right - riding for pleasure!

Three is a very low number ... so it may go unnoticed.
When I am stopped and as cars approach me from a distance, I will mentally keep track how long I have had the brakes engaged ... then I completely release the brakes and quickly re-engage to get the continued visibility as cars approach me. As the cars are coming to stopping distance, I will once again completely release and quickly re-engage ... most cars will stop with a large gap between us.
So you can easily extend your "brief modulations" for more visibility and time._________________ Bill - Georgetown TX 07 Silver Wing ABS Clearview w/vent, Givi E96/TB19/E52 with Admore Lighting, Alaskan Leather, Wrist Rests, 3M Solas tape, K&N air, Hyperpro spring, Grip Puppies, Airhawk, Utopia backrest, Stebel, Apexcone HIDs, StingerZ LEDs (w/Backoff WigWag), Knight Rider Sequential LED, NGK Iridium, Power Commander III, Manic Salamander, Saeng mirrors, Garmin Zumo 660, Dark-Side Sumitomo Tire  |

I think you'll be very happy with it. I've got a pair of the LB02s installed on the back of my Swing and have been very pleased with them. |
