“No Cut” Brake Modulator
A while back we talked about the BackOff brake Modulator/Flasher but it does require a few wires to be cut for installation. Some crafty 2Fiddy’r has come out with a much less expensive option, that is also ‘No Cut’ installation.. (Can we say WIn-Win) Meaning it’s “Plug and Play”… So You can put away your soldering irons, butt plugs, and electrical tape and run right out and flash your neighbors.. (Whoa.. That can be taken a few different ways…) This no cut model is based off the Rear-Alert module, and installation should take no more than “2 minutes”..
So for those of you asking, ‘What exactly is a Brake Modulator, and why do I want one?” — Well it’s simple:
When your front or back brakes are applied, the modulator pulses your brake lamp for about 4 seconds. The lamp then stays on solid until you release the brakes. Re-applying the brakes causes the unit to pules the brake light an additional 4~5 seconds. Generally you get 7 or 8 pulses before the lamp stays on solid. Also, cutting the green wire doubles the flash time should you want your brake light to flash longer.
Remember, Visibility is key when it comes to safety when on a bike.
Price: $19.95

Always nice to see plug and play gear, wonder if the 250 shares any of the same connectors as the bigger bikes.

Thats a really good question. I sent this post to the guy making these, hopefully he’ll stop by and answer this question.

This is at the bottom of his auction:
“Also, it is possible that this unit will fit other makes and models, but I DO NOT have a list. If I find other bikes it will fit, I will immediately add it to this auction!!!”

SOLD! I’m def. gonna grab this! Any videos!?
I got rear ended the 2nd week i had my bike. I was in bumper to bumper traffic. Was stopped for a good 10secs….then BAM! Guy hit me…luckly he was not going too fast. But it was enough to give me some wiplash and almost throw me off the bike (which i some how kept up). $600 bucks later and everything is good as new..but stuff like this can make a difference! You can never be too safe!!!

Hey guys, I appreciate the input and the interest in this little flasher. Sorry to hear you were rear-ended… The driver should’ve lost their license on that one. I’m always keeping my mirrors in perfect adjustment, as I’ve been rear ended myself, in my truck, just calmly sitting at a red light. I wasn’t injured, but I think that experience alone was the largest part of my decision to adapt the Rear Alert modulator as a plug-n-play unit for my 250. Luckily, it worked so well I decided that others would appreciate them also.
So, keep safe, and keep ridin’,

Does this work in any verifiable way? (as a preventative?) I.ve read debates that suggest that this may not stop people as much as make them stare at it in confusion as they plow into you. I think it must work great at night. Will be buying set to try.
I would like to build a sonic range detector that emits a escalating high pitched BEEP as you pass into the 20 ft zone behind my bike. It culminates with .50 BMG round to the engineblock at 3ft. :0
May not be legal in NJ or CA.

Hey all, just wanted to let you all know, it is confirmed that the No Cut Modulator for the 2008 Ninja 250 is confirmed to be compatible with 2001 and up Ninja 250’s. Also, no one has a 2009 model yet, but unless kawasaki changes something they have been doing for years, these will work with the 09 model as well.
Props, and thanks to all!
