It doesn't matter what you do, someone who isn't paying attention will destroy you regardless of your lights.

Which is why I'm comfortable with the rear break light set up on my fighter.

I have a set of the Rizoma Zero 11's for my rear signals. Very spiffington, IMHO, and they were worth the $34x2 price I paid.

Uh....Yeah....

Find me a study that proves anything other than the fact that bright lights and colors grab attention and make you more visible and I might get on that wagon. Until then you're on your own bud...

That's essentially my point. If I spent the next year of my life researching the amount of times people get pulled out on JUST on the forums, it would be a full time job. Seat time in a huge city like Houston has shown me that no amount of bling, lights or hope will get you noticed more on a motorcycle. If it makes you feel warm and fuzzy, buy all the LEDs trick pieces you want...but they're not going to work.

You're delusional if you think lights will get you noticed and save your life. Offensive riding and defensive instincts will save your lights. LEDs won't. You can be as "sure" as you want, but false hope in bright lights makes people relax and rely on something that won't save them.

It's pointless to argue over though. Buy all the bright lights you want...just don't pay too much
