I have the Skene's front and rear and will never have another bike without them

I second the 3M reflective stuff on the bags. I have silver on my aluminum Tenere bags and black on another bike with black bags. They really light up when the headlights hit them.

I was riding into Santa Fe today on the interstate and see this little Jelly Bean car swerving around in the fast lane then moves over to the middle lane.Madhatter said:some one say politics....... already have bans on cell phone use , but from my elevated perch ( cab of class 8 truck ) it has not changed any ones habits....95 out of a hundred cars that pass me are using their phones.... and women seem to be the worst ..... add to putting on make up or what ever else women do while driving ( course men are just as bad in our on way ) its bad out there.... so extra lights to catch some ones attention is a good thing.... I generally stop at least one car length behind vehicles just in case I get rear ended , don't want to be the baloney in that sandwhich ...
Several companies make these:Ramseybella said:That's something that i was thinking of if you could make it wireless to activate when you hit the breaks.
This is what I do.I went with 3M reflective material on the bags. Barely visible during the day, lights up the whole rear of the bike at night.

Bumping this post because I too have these questions about installing the Skene P3 rear lights.i am gathering my STUFF for this years winter project and adding some rear lights is high on the list. Mine is a 16 ES new to this summer and it comes with nice soft LED signals and tail lights. I have been eying these Skeene, P3 and Hyperlight systems or just adding a generic pair of small Tail & Brake lights, I am getting ready to order some connectors from East beaver but before i do I have some questions to the more experienced owners:
1) since all these supplemental tail light systems are LED's can i just tap into the appropriate line to drive them then or do i need a fused 12V line and tap into them for the signal only? And
2) where is the most convenient, dry, out of the way place, perhaps under the pillion seat i can find and tap into all these lines. or even better is there a connector somewhere i can break open and build a harness breaking out the appropriate signal and tail light wires?
I do use positaps if i have to but prefer breaking a connector open and making up a harness betwee them using a pair of new connectors.
Thx for the ideas and info
