3 red lights to the rear like that sometimes just blend together and the side blinking doesn't register to people with bad eyes, tired or old people(just the people you want to see you).
Ambner lights to the rear always mean something, so blinking amber stands out from the solid red. A couple of added amber lights for blinker lights(you can have red and amber blinkers), or just add a pair of red lights to hook up to that unit would give a lot more light. I like the lights setup between the bags and the fender. They are invisable until they start blinking, amber gets attention.

Turn signals is not what I'm worried about. It's stopping/slowing I want to make sure they see/know that's what I'm doing. Believe every state requires any light used as a stop light be red, not amber.

OK, remember, I don't have regular turn signals...Those tiny little things at the end of the fender struts are the turns....I'll be adding a taillight that has integrated turns, but (I think) everything is amber and can't be changed.

Well that's why I was asking about just the brake light flasher. Not only don't I think the run/brake/turn thing will work, I don't think it's legal to use with amber.
Your bike's faster than mine, which explains why you don't remember what my taillights look like.

I was told that I could use the single or dual filament bulbs. I use the single and they work fine.
Right, here in Virginia it is illegal to have solid yellow in the rear or for brake lights. I had smoke lenses and I had to find red bulbs.

I know my turn signals are tiny (Backroad Mike made the comment when we were going to Bethlehem), so I'm dealing with that with the new plate frame which has integrated turns. But I've seen guys with the flashing brake light, and that looks like it'd help with the stopping visibility.

Actually Tim, your bike is one of the ones I noticed with the flashing lights. So that just goes inline to the brake light? Do you have that under the seat or back in the taillight assembly?

I tried one of their all-in-one bulbs. IMO, wouldn't go that route... |

I have no bulbs, so that's not an option anyway.
I wonder if there's any more room under the seat.....

Why not? Was thinking about using the bulb just on the taillight and leaving the turn/running/brake solid red.

That's how mine works. I just made sure I spliced it into the wire after the plug-and-play H-D thingamabob. |
