I've used the Kisan unit for years...  They make a single replacement bulb, for the Tour and Standard, and a module that will control all four lights in the I/S trunk.

The Replacement bulb is 'plug n play' and I believe 30% brighter than stock.  When I have the I/S trunk mounted on my bike, the added 'wig wag' of the trunk lights really gets noticed.

Some of the best 'safety' money you can spend, in my opinion.

Great idea!  I could simply read, but I'd rather have your confirmation - which Part Number are you using?

Kaiser...

I'm using the '20-WD' for the 'Standard' rear fender light.  It also comes with an extra bulb.

I'm using the 100-HD for my 'Interstate' trunk lights.  It is a splice in setup, and can be set to either the 'wig-wag' (side to side) flash, or 'flicker' (both sides pulse the same). 

When running my trunk, the effect of the fender light and the trunk lights is great!  I'v had cagers pull up along side me at a stop, and say 'Hey, did you know yer brake lights were flashing?'...  Also, If I'm stopped at a light, in the dark (my greatest fear), I apply the brakes again, if I see a car coming up behind me, just to be sure they see me.  Usually, that results in them stopping a full car length behind me  cooldude

Good luck!

I agree... the "Back Off" modulator is on my VTX and Valkyrie and have been working fine for many years.  I have a halogen bulb tail/brake on my VTX which is much brighter... and when I added the tail light to my Valk I/S fender, it had the LED panel in it... and really is bright.  The LED panel was a real bonus when I got it off eBay, otherwise I probably would have installed another halogen bulb.

Highly recommend the Back Off modulator.

I only have the LED tail light that he is referring to above.
You will see a big reflection in the tractor seat, and that is in a garage with all lights on.   Oh yeah, this is the brake light.

Normally we are working on cars or trucks in here.



Here is a link to the element, 128 led's in here.
Should put you to the right page and top light.

Nope, ya have to click Honda on the left side.
