    Swagat, kaas is 4 hrs journey one way and it will be difficult to keep up with you if you will be riding on your ninja 250 . You dont have any plans for a short ride?

    ^^They're very rarely needed!!
    Just keep the headlights and tail light in pristine condition and you really don't need anything else (that's what I think-there may be a difference of opinion)

    On a lighter note, the flashers in the video was being joked at as the person driving behind will get confused as unsure whether the bike is planning to turn right or left as lights indicators keep on flashing both directions every second.

    I too believe these flashers do not serve any real purpose while riding, my bike has the hazard function in-built but very rarely used.

    [MENTION=55137]I_Live2Ride[/MENTION]: will check with AH Helmets and try to position it a bit on the down side. [MENTION=34363]Centaur[/MENTION]: Of course i will be using the strobe led only if necessary.

    Well, in my opinion, simply switching on the headlight during rains/ fog will also switch on your tail light which is enough for visibility. The flashers or strobe lights will irritate the one following you. Don't believe me? Try riding behind a 4-wheeler in rains who has his hazards light blinking. The water droplets on your helmet will make it difficult for you to see the road.

    On a different note, hazard lights are to be only used when you have a vehicle malfunction/ or you have parked your vehicle in the dark/ or to inform others that the vehicle is stationary (may be due to a puncture). Everybody knows that they need to ride with caution during rains, we don't want a hazard light telling it to us. Hazard light simply means that my vehicle can be hazardous, therefore, you need to proceed with caution.

    I laugh at the drivers of the cars who switch on the hazard light in rains and drive at 80-90 Km/hr.

    Max got them from Ebay for 2K, it is a customised chip that needs to be installed in the bike,, which results in 21 patterns of hazard lights in Tail Lights..

    As per what max told me it was only designed for Duke,, but i can get you more details for it from Max..

    ----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

    hey amit,

    The video that you posted with Red light is a strobe light and honestly as per me , it could be a bit irritating in the night coz it has real high power and could distract attention for others from road to the bike and could coz disasters,,

    Probable hazard light means,, the guy driving/riding behind us should know that a riding a riding ahead and it should not even distract him in the eyes,, like in your video at 0:30..
    right said bro. I also found it a bit distracting. but its just a 1 watt led hence giving a second thought. orelse will go with additional indicators at rear with the flasher circuit. What u Say Bro???

    Pls help me with a trusted store where i can buy additional rear indicators with red led(May b orange leds can be swapped with red) and a circuit. i dont want any fancy circuit. Just a flash of right and left alternatively will be enough to giv a better visiblity to following vehicles on almost dark roads such as gorai and aarey colony for example. Need to do some adons on glady and this is what i intend to do for now.
