Cool.
Srinath.
I think safety is biggly important on any motorcycle. Installing tiny turn signals that can't be seen in daylight or direct sun is just asking for trouble.....and having a brake light that is bright and attention grabbing is vitally important now that drivers are busy on their cell phones, computer displays on their dashboards, etc.
DOT may no be enough to keep you safe. The RYCA tail light on my bike was pathetic - so I installed an extra extremely bright Emergency Flasher that can be set in the "steady" mode for a brake light, and I also installed bright LED bulbs in my turn signals.
Being "DOT compliant" is nice - but being seen and not getting run over is even better!
This is the LED strobe unit I used as a brake light.
