additional rear brake lights

[Butterthebean]

Just curious what folks have done to add some rear brake lighting to their bikes. I've got a supabrake 3 brake light modulator on my bike and I definitely think it increases visibility, but I'd like to add more light as well to be more visible. Post a pic if you have one.

I having been using The Admore integrated brake and turn signal light bar on my Super Teneres since 2012

and I have never been rear-ended.....

Did their mounting bracket mount cleanly to the stock S10 license plate bracket?

Looking at it, looks like it might also mount under the rear rack, which wouldn't be a bad place for some more light.

very cleanly to stock license bracket, using same license plate bolts... don't know about mounting directly under rear rack as I would still like to replace the rack with something tougher in aluminium... seems to me where I have it gives the best exposure while including the stock brake light in the tailgaters vision.....

Looks kinda big

that's what she said...

the Admore comes in two sizes, my goal was to have the lights as wide as the licence [reflective] plate,
which would have been nicer if the led's were edge to edge...
when I'm in the cockpit I don't see it but am more confident knowing it's there...

I do not work for Admore nor receive anything from them,
I just really like the product and have never had a failure.....

The Admore is a good piece of kit. Wife had one on her bike for 110k miles w/o issue. I need to install it on her new bike...

Hyperlites are another add on idea that works well. There are a ton of other options. Just a matter of where you like to put things.

I use the Admore running/brake lights mounted inside my Givi V46 topcase. The lights are specific to the Givi V46. I've been told by others riding behind me that the lights are very good.

Prior owner mounted a 3 led flasher (3 strobes then solid) right above the license plate. Looks stock but about doubles the light. He said it was manufactured for emergency vehicles.

Whelen probably.

Whelen probably.

It sort of looks like a Whelen, it’s what I’ve got on mine, but AFAIK the whelen doesn’t have the California strobe (3 flashes then solid). It is however VERY bright.

I used to ride with a guy that had the brightest tail light modulator ever. He also had some bright lights mounted on the sides. It didn't last long before THE MAN made him take the tail light off. This sytem looks very interesting. Might cost me some $$$

I hate riding together behind guys who have the big Whelen-type lights on a flasher!

I found the tail light of the Super Tenere a bit weak, particularly in bright sunshine. A year ago I was almost killed by a low flying car on the highwhay who simply overlooked me at very high speed and missed me by a few inches. After this near-miss I installed an additional tail light (Admore, with signal light function). However I opted for the non-modulated version as I can imagine a modulated brake light can be irritating for riders/drivers behind. I am very happy with my light and it's been working perfectly for over 20'000km now

I’m one of those guys that has the Whelen unit.

When installing it and checking all the possible lighting combinations it has I decided that the least annoying for those following would be for it to just come on solid with the brake light which seems to be working well.
The Admore is a nice unit and I think it also has the feature that it comes on with just hard,
throttle off deceleration without needing the brakes applied.

 

[Tenman]

Interesting on the light coming on under hard deceleration. I see you said "you think" its coming on. When you confirm it. Let me know. I use my engine to brake a lot.

Yes looks like that feature is available with the Admore.
The Whelen model I have dosent have that setting.

Do the running lights work also? I always try to get more lights on the bike when driving or just sitting at a red light.

 

[U.P.rider]

I’ve used Custom Dynamics Knight Riderez on my Vmax in conjunction with brake lights to get the attention of following traffic. The knight ridererz flashed 3 times then turned solid until brake was released. I never had any following riders complain about the flashing but I don’t think they are as bright as the emergency vehicle grade lights.
