BackOFF™ XP Brake Light Module

BackOFF™ XP Brake Light Module

Help Following Drivers Notice When You Are Slowing or Stopped

The Signal Dynamics BackOFF™ XP 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™ XP is designed to make your motorcycle’s brake light significantly more noticeable by adding your choice of two attention-getting flash patterns during braking.

Compatible with:

• LED brake lights
• incandescent brake lights
• combination LED/incandescent systems

No load equalizers required.

Two Selectable Flash Patterns

Mode 1

Causes the brake light(s) to emit:

• 5 short flashes
• followed by 4 seconds of steady illumination

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

Mode 1 is ideal for riders who want maximum ongoing visibility while stopped in traffic or waiting at intersections.

Mode 2

Causes the brake light(s) to emit:

• 5 rapid flashes
• followed by steady brake light illumination

After the initial flash sequence, the brake light remains steadily illuminated for as long as braking continues.

Mode 2 is ideal for riders who prefer an initial attention-getting alert followed by a more traditional steady brake light appearance.

Multiple Brake Light Systems

If your motorcycle has multiple brake lights positioned above and below each other, Mode 1 and Mode 2 can both be used together on separate brake lights to create a much more dynamic and attention-getting lighting effect.

Designed to Gain and Maintain Attention

The BackOFF™ XP flash patterns were specifically selected for their 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™ XP automatically performs this function every time the brakes are applied.

Simple Installation

The BackOFF™ XP 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
• selecting your preferred flash mode
• mounting the module using the included adhesive pad

Compatible with most 12VDC motorcycle electrical systems.

Wiring Connections

Black Wire

Connect to a ground wire.

Red Wire

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

Choose ONE Output Mode Below

(Cap off unused output wire)

White Wire / Red Stripe — Mode 1 Output

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

Red Wire / White Stripe — Mode 2 Output

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

Optional Hazard Flasher Feature

The optional yellow wire can be used to add a brake light hazard flasher feature for motorcycles that do not already have factory hazard flashers.

To use this feature:

• connect the yellow wire through a toggle switch (not included)
• connect the switch to a fused 12V+ power source

When the switch is turned on, the brake light will continuously flash as a hazard flasher.

This feature is completely optional and does not need to be connected for normal brake light module operation.
