There's a difference between getting attention and just being an annoying douche to other drivers.

Yeah on my ruckus I've got a 3 pulse then it goes solid cops never give an issue... any idea what the controller is called? On my ruck it was a pre-wired brake setup

Nope it blinks during rain, and other situations during the race. It is off by default

I've been running Valenti's rear fog light, which blinks 3 times upon braking, without any issues from law enforcement, and I pass by police on a daily basis. If it's illegal, no one cares.

What if you hooked up the blinky circuit to only blink 3 times when the wipers were turned on?

It's on its own thread around the forum somewhere, I tried to find it but didn't see the post. Sorry
