Product Description

BackOFF™ Brake Light Module

Help Following Drivers Notice When You Are Slowing or Stopped

The Signal Dynamics BackOFF™ Brake Light Module automatically flashes your motorcycle’s existing brake light to help attract and maintain the attention of following drivers during braking.

Unlike many vehicles equipped with dedicated center high-mounted brake lights, motorcycles often rely on smaller rear lighting systems that can be easier to overlook in traffic, bright sunlight, or moments of driver distraction.

The BackOFF™ Brake Light Module is designed to make your motorcycle’s brake light significantly more noticeable by automatically adding a repeating visual alert pattern during braking.

IMPORTANT:
This module is designed for standard incandescent brake lights only.

If your motorcycle uses LED brake lights, please click here to see our BackOFF™ XP Brake Light Module which is compatible with both LED and incandescent brake light systems.

Flash Pattern

When the brakes are applied, the BackOFF™ Brake Light Module causes the brake light(s) to emit:

  • 3 short flashes
  • followed by steady illumination for approximately 2 seconds

This pattern automatically repeats continuously for as long as the brakes remain applied.

The flash pattern was specifically selected for its ability to attract and maintain the attention of following drivers without appearing random or erratic.

Many state driver handbooks recommend briefly flashing brake lights when slowing or stopping to help alert following traffic. The BackOFF™ automatically performs this function every time the brakes are applied.

Designed for Incandescent Brake Lights

The BackOFF™ Brake Light Module is specifically designed for motorcycles using standard incandescent brake light bulbs.

Compatible with:

  • standard incandescent brake lights
  • multiple incandescent brake light bulbs

NOT compatible with:

  • LED brake lights

For LED compatibility, use the BackOFF™ XP Brake Light Module.

Simple Installation

The BackOFF™ Brake Light Module installs inline with your motorcycle’s existing brake light wiring.

IMPORTANT:
Your motorcycle’s brake light wire must be cut in two and the module installed inline with the cut brake light wire.

One side of the cut brake light wire will lead toward the front of the motorcycle and the other side will lead toward the rear brake light(s). The module is installed between these two wire ends.

Basic installation includes:

  • locating the brake light wire
  • cutting the brake light wire
  • connecting the module inline
  • mounting the module using the included adhesive pad

Compatible with most 12VDC motorcycle electrical systems.

Wiring Connections

Red Wire

Connect to the brake light wire leading toward the front of the motorcycle.
This wire receives power from the brake switch.

White Wire / Red Stripe

Connect to the brake light wire leading toward the rear brake light(s).

Solid-State Reliability

  • solid-state electronic operation
  • compact anodized aluminum housing
  • heat and vibration resistance
  • water-resistant construction
  • simple two-wire installation

    Quick and easy!

    The Back-off module does exactly what it's supposed to do ... help protect you from a rear end collision. The five minute installation could not be any easier. I used to have to pump my brakes manually when someone was too close for comfort but now I can focus on stopping and not on watching my butt. Thanks you Signal Dynamics

    This product was very easy to install and it works as advertised. This is the second one that I have purchased, and I would now consider this a must have for any street-going motorcycles that I acquire in the future.

    Back Off brake light flasher.

    Posted by Gary Gissiner on 23rd Jan 2014

    I have a Harley Wide Glide which is a great bike, but most accessory notes say all except 2012 up Wide Glides but not Signal Dynamics Corporation they make a universal brake light flasher that not only fits but it works great and is reasonably priced. I can tell you after may hours of searching the web this is a great product. It took me about 45 minutes to install this device with the hardest part was to get someone to tell me what color wire went to my brake lights. I have used another brand on other bikes I've owned and this unit is as good and in some respects better for less money. Good job guy's.
