While trying to fall asleep last night I came up with my latest idea for a mod. As some of you already know, I'm going to be making some ammo can saddle bags for the bike. Each ammo can will have a Model A tail light. I want to make it so that the break lights alternate like on a school bus. I found this flasher (http://www.amazon.com/Tridon-Electronic-Flasher-Terminal-Alternating/dp/B00064LQJY) on Amazon. Is this all I need? Just wire it into my lights?

Thanks for the advice. I might have found something else, the Signal Dynamics Back Off Wig Wag for Goldwings. It's specifically made for multiple brake lights and will alternate them then go solid. But it's about $25 more than the flasher.

Not enough information on the sight to say for sure. (I was in electrical Engineering before I switched majors after 2 years)

The relay is an I.C. relay or Integrated Circuit Relay and very well could operate fine under any load lower then the 150 watt per side maximum, meaning yes, it probably is all you need.

Older Bi-Metalic strip relay require a load that is in a narrow margin or they blink fast with too much load or slow or not at all with too small a load.

The piece is cheap enough to give it a shot anyhow, so I say go for it.

On a side note, have you seen the exhaust cans that are rotating mini guns??

I haven't found the P-41 pictures yet, but emailed a friend. If you haven't seen the exhaust cans, I would have to look, but I'd give it a shot.

I've seen them but they're way too expensive and IMO a little cheesey. I have my own plans for the exhaust. Trust me, it's gonna look damn good on the bike.

If I didn't already have the Model A lights I would've gone with some hum-vee lights. Just found a guy selling them on ebay.
