BackOff XP Brake Modulator/Flasher
To me, one of the worst sounds you can hear on a bike is the sound of screeching tires… Behind you… And the worst thing you can see in your mirrors is the whites in the eyes of bugs smashed against the grill of some soccer moms Expedition. At the end of the day, I think we are all Looking for a way to increase our visibility on the road - because some people just don’t get the hint.
The BackOff XP is neat lil product from Signal Dynamics Corp. The module installs in line with your brake line and gives you two modes of operation. First is a repeating pattern of 4 quick flashes, and 1 longer flash. And Second, 5 short flashes and then a solid light. The manufacture claims that the first mode is designed to grab drivers attentions and retain it.
In addition to the giving you a more visible brake light, the module has options for emergency hazards, and also backup warnings. (The Emergency hazards being a popular request on many of the Ninja Forums) And you don’t need to worry about the future if you upgrade to LED’s. This module works with both bulb and LED applications.

This is pretty neat, this would be worth it for hazards alone.

for much less, you can get the LED bulb that does the same thing. Plus, it draws your attention by the “spinning” lights when the bike is turned on.
