Hi All!
I have an issue with my rear flashers and I hope you guys can help me. The problem is that people following me on the road can hardly see them at daylight when they flash. I need to find some that will be very bright. Any suggestions? Thanx so much!

Nice undertail Tzuki, looks like those Leds came with it. I have also noticed on my son's bike that his Leds are not the best in daylight either, he also has indicators integrated to his brake light (I'm not a great fan of this either), but it is visible to those behind. Could be the solution.
I run Oxford mini cat's eyes with halogen bulbs on the rear and they are VERY bright .
Is that a golf bag in the background ? (My handicap is my wife !!)

I have the same under tail and had the same problem. I remove the leds lights( while removing the clear coat came off with light ) and installed amber side marker lights for a trailer. there about 1 inch long and half inch tail but you can see them in the day time. Now does not look as good but safty over looks works for me but they do look ok. I have no picks of it but can post in a few days if you would like.

Nice undertail but completely useless flashers! Thanx for the tip I will take a look at these halogen bulbs.
Yes it is a golf bag but I am not the player, my husband is... and his handicap is about 10...

Remind me NOT to play golf with your husband !!
Here is a pic of the Oxford indicators. I think your best alternative though is an integrated stop/turning indicator instead of the rear brake light. Half of the Led brake light on my son's CBR1000RR flashes yellow when turning. I think he obtained it from Hotbodies Racing.

Very nice, what brand of under tail kit is that, and where did you purchase it? I have been looking for something similarand really like this unit. Do the flashers come with the undertail or are they add on units? Thanks

Thanx so much for the pics papa r!
I thought about that brake light too but I am not sure if it is approved here in Canada, I'll need to find out. If it is, I agree it would be one of the best options.

That light can be found much cheaper here in the states. RatedR has it for 149 AUD. I found it for 49.95 here in the states @ http://www.motodynamic.com/product_info ... ucts_id=55 You can set it up so they e-mail you when they get in stock. It took about a 2 weeks before they got more in stock when I ordered mine. I love it. It is VERY bright, especially at night. Plus it really streamlines the rear end.

I agree that is the one i use too. One thing that really helps in "BE SEEN" is leaving the the flash rate FAST. It does get drivers to see your turning intentions.

In Denmark its not legal to use the combined rear/flashlight on public road... And if you break and use the flashers at the same time... How visible is it then? :/

When you break and use the flashers the side that is indicating your turning direction alternates between amber and red while the other half stays lit red. So not only do you have the turn signal flashing amber on and off half of the tail light is flashin red as well.
