I like the stock flashing rate because it looks "professional" and like a cleaner job was done on aftermarket installs, but at the same time, I can also see where a faster flashing rate could attract more attention from daydreamers on the road. Any thoughts? And further, how are your turn signals set up, fast or slow? < Message edited by zerochickenstrips -- 12/10/2006 8:41:05 PM > _____________________________ '06 Black CBR 1000RR '91 CBR 600 F2 streetfighter Post #: 1

I had that happen the other day. Pretty stupid little tidbit out of my life, I know. _____________________________ CBR Forum Buddy: Catmang Xbox GT: voodoochyl (in reply to pacemaker) Post #: 4

My Camry has a tail blinker t out, so the front is like 200 BPM, drives me nuts. Now, ever since I installed my Hotbodies undertail my bike does it to, I just doint know how to change it. Has somethin to do witht he relay right? _____________________________ (in reply to vpsophmore) Post #: 6
