Headlight Flashers

[Lonewolf]

Is the debate over?

Pete, buggered if I know! Just field test them and let us know how you get on. I'm going to order some too and I have a funny feeling I know somebody else on here who probably already has them on order... ;D

Is it a big job to fit them?

I will getting them and they don't look too difficult to install. Unfortunately I'm just snowed under so these will have to go on the list

Bloody Hell Chaps !!
I have been reading this thread with shock and horror and you all need to be really careful when adding bits to your beloved GTR's.
OK ... as always this is simply one persons thoughts and advice but you are treading on thin ice. The intentions are good without any doubt their good but if I saw someone riding with alternate flashing lights yellow jackets etc they would get tugged ( yes I am " Old Bill " .. but please .. not so much of the OLD !! ) Are we trying to make our journey safer for all concerned or are we trying to make ourselves or make other people think that we are Police ? Peoples' views on that could be worlds apart and I know what the CPS would think !
With respect to GTR Pete's copper chum giving them the thumbs up, and i am not saying he is wrong BUT the problem comes when you are at the side of the road with a copper who ISN'T your chum and doesn't agree with what your views. The Police have wide powers these days and you could quite easily and lawfully have your bike seized as evidence by an officer for it to be examined for any offences and then he could hang onto it as "Best Evidence" until the matter was decided by a court ... which could take months.. I mean it guys .. YOUR GTR sitting there in some dank dusty garage getting shitty and rusty and uncharged and generally abandoned does not bear thinking about.
Just one more problem for you to chew over .... Insurance companies always specify that you must inform them of any modifications on the bike ... and of course we all say NO because we havn't fitted a fancy exhaust or a cylinder of Nitrus Oxcide or go faster stripes .. but if you DON'T tell them and you are involved in an accident that may not even be your fault, as soon as the 3rd party mentions flashing lights you will get the blame for everything .. you can hear him now " he dazzled my mirrors " ... " I pulled over sharply cos i thought he was old bill and hit the other car " ... " I braked hard and skidded cos you panicked me " .. and so the excuses go on ... it doesn't matter that they are all rubbish just as long as someone can point the finger of blame to us horrid bikers they will try and get out of it .. oh and the insurance company will simply null and void your policy because you failed to tell them of the changes you made ...AND they will notify all the other ins companies too ... so when you come to renew your'e  well and truly buggered !
Take care out there chaps .. the days are getting lighter, just, and so we hope for warm weather and dry roads ... Hoorrraaa !!

NB & I had a brief chat about this a week or so ago. Not sure about NB but I didnt order any after all. We had a big debate about it at work and the conclusion was that it was a definate no, no.

Nah, didn't buy these in the end. I can argue blue leds (cosmetic), and brighter accessory lights, but alternate flashing white headlamps would be too much.

Well done boys .. glad to hear it !
