I just ordered one from the Vizitec website and used the code on one of the threads and received a discount. Look forward to getting it installed based on all the
positive comments. I had the Back Off modulating light on my HD and it worked really well, provided an extra safety measure.

Emailed Bernard (Vizitec) and he has extended the discount code for a few more orders. (12) ;D

He advises that he is in the process of relocation so orders may be delayed by a short time (up to 2 weeks) and may be a slight delay in replying to email. (although I received a reply within an hour)

Looking forward to getting and installing the modulator

For those (like me) new to the Vizitec product line, the SupaBrake II modulator has programmable flash modes. I read that going in but did not receive any programming instructions or otherwise with my order. The unit itself does not look programmable with switches or exposed pins. Reading back thru the Vizitec website, I found this - https://www.vizi-tec.com/content/sb/SB-II_USER_GUIDE.pdf. The programming looks pretty straight forward. I will prolly opt for something a bit more aggressive than the 3-flash default setting. Hope this helps.

Mine came, 7 days, installed and played with it. Easy to mess with, Manual spot on. Took 5 minutes to install, easy as PIE. I went 1-3-5, sticking with #5. Thanks to who started this thread and Bernard.

My SB3 arrived today.
::018::

Took 5 min to install on my 2015 ES - no tools required

take off front seat.
take off seat height adjustment bracket.
rear brake light connector is behind and under the relay
push forward the relay so it pops off the rubber holding grommet.
poke your finger into the rear of the rubber wiring boot and pull out the rear brake connector.
undo the connector - can be a bit tricky - look at the SuperBrake connectors to see which ends to hold and pull.
clip in the SuperBrakeIII
turn on ignition and test it is working
put relay back in place and tuck the SB3 back under the relay
put seat height adjustment bracket back
put seat back.

From comparing the II and III manuals it looks like the III has a crap-load more profiles (~100k vs. 10 for the II) and has a couple other new features like input de-bounce, which allows you to tap the brakes without triggering the algorithm. Basically an evolutionary step in the product development. 100k profiles seems a bit excessive, but the development cost was probably minimal so why not?

Also, looking at the pics the SB2 might come with wire pigtails coming out either side of the contoller.
the SB3 i got has all the wire coming from the same side so it makes for a cleaner install as the wires don't have to fold back.

Just installed mine, question....I applied the brakes after install, no flash. I does respond to the 3 second application, then reapply with a half second, then I get a flash. Is something wrong?

Really like the idea of the rear brake light flashing, from the video it looks really noticeable.
Was just wondering if anybody in the UK knows if it is legal to have the brake light working in this way ? I no its stated in the advert that it's OK in the states.
I've checked up on the DVLA web site for the wording, re operation, etc. There's no mention made of any type of flashing brake light.
Has anybody in the UK bought the unit, and taken it for its annual MOT test, and had then had any problems with it at all ?

Thanks guys, ride safe eh.

A friend of mine here in La. got pulled over for a super bright modulator. It twinkled and annoyed me so bad. I wouldn't ride behind him. The cop told him to get rid of it or he was gonna get nailed next time. This light looks a lot better.
