I love mine.

It ain't rocket surgery to install - I installed mine at a Tech Day in Owosso several years back. I did not use the harness adapter for this set, but I do have the Admore harness adapter being used for the lights on my side cases.

And, yah, Admore's customer service is fantastic. I had an issue with my side case lights and they took care of me.
Which lights do you have on your side cases?

I have the universal kit:

I'm torn between move visibility and looking like an electronic billboard. I'm a little concerned that too much blinking/flashing bright reds and yellows will be distracting.

I can't see mine when I'm riding...

If I distract the cages behind me, well, that's the point.

Unless you provide them a good aiming point...target fixation and all.

Thanks. That's my concern exactly. Drivers here (Los Angeles) are already so distracted that it's easy to imagine some twit or twitette staring stupidly at all the sparkly lights and becoming hypnotized, causing the opposite results that I intended by adding extra lights in the first place.

I suppose it's a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" thing.

P.S. I rode motos and drove rigs professionally in LA for many years; they're nuts out there, but there's no shortage of them here on the right coast. ;)

Yeah, they're everywhere. Ever driven in Miami? We were there last year. People were stopping on the freeways to look at their GPSs. Not on the shoulders. In their lanes.
