I'm becoming more aware of this issue as I often sit at a stoplight in neutral, hands and feet off brakes = no brake lights = increase risk of getting run over.
So....
I've been looking at the signal dynamics back off brake modules, the ones that have programmed flash/repeat patterns etc. I bought the XP model to install. Then I realized they offered a "Hold" model which monitors electronic speed sensor data, and will activate the brakes when you are slowing or stopped with hands and feet off brakes... Sounded good, but I don't think my max has electronic speed sensor? Has cable, right?
So..... I came up with the idea to do a mod to activate brake lights, whenever the bike is in neutral, and the kickstand is not down. This condition will simulate me being at a stop with no brakes. Note, whenever I'm in gear at a stop, I have a brake on. (I think)
I'm using the kickstand switch in the logic, because I don't want the brakes flashing while I'm warming up in the parking lot on the side stand.
Input?
