The BackOFF™ XP Brake Light Module automatically flashes your brake light(s) to capture the attention of following drivers and to make your motorcycle more visible. When installed, the motorcycle's brake light becomes significantly more noticeable because your brake light(s) will flash with your choice of 2 attention getting patterns. This module is designed to work with standard incandescent brake lights, LED brake lights, or a combination of both (up to 10 amps).
Flash patterns to choose from
Mode 1: Causes your brake light(s) to automatically emit a visual alerting signal of 5 short flashes, followed by 1 steady on light for 4 seconds. This sequence automatically repeats itself as long as the brakes are applied.
Mode 2: Causes your brake light(s) to emit 5 rapid flashes, then remain steady on light as long as you are stopped/braking.
Note: Both Mode 1 and 2 can be used if you have multiple brake lights.
These flash patterns are not random, but have been selected because of their ability to gain and retain following driver's attention. Most states drivers handbooks recommend that you flash your brakes when slowing or stopping. The BackOFF™ XP automatically facilitates compliance and enhances safety. Install the BackOFF™ XP and see how much more effective your brake light can be!
Installation
To install, wire the BackOFF™ XP Brake Light Module in-line with your existing brake light wire. Locate your brake light wire and cut the wire into 2 (use a test light or multi-meter to find proper wire). Choose the mode you would like from the 2 available and connect the mode wire (red/white or white/red) to the wire leading to the rear of your bike, and connect the red wire from the module to the cut brake light wire leading toward the front of the bike. Tap the black wire from the module to a ground wire and read instructions below for the optional yellow wire. Finally peel the paper lining off of the double sided adhesive pad and mount the module to a clean, flat surface. (Be sure to cap off the unused mode wire)
Wiring
Solder connections or use crimp connectors (not included)
Black wire: Ground
Red wire: Connect to brake light wire - leading forward (front of bike)
CHOOSE 1 MODE BELOW (CAP OFF UNUSED WIRE) Connect to brake light wire - leading back to the brake light (rear of bike)

Just installed the back off xp on my subaru 3rd brake light. Works great and it's really easy to install. Instructions are very clear and this unit works amazing with led bulbs.
I recommend this unit to everyone.

I received the Backoff XP quickly. Installation on my Kingpin was a breeze, spliced in to the brake light wire at the connector under the seat and the module was small enough to fit along side the fuse box. Works perfectly - 5 flash mode.

Really like the way this unit gets more attention to the drivers behind me.

Another fine product from a fine and reputable company. Have purchased a few Signal Dynamics products over the years and they never fail to disappoint.

Great product which I received very fast.

An excellent product to enhance safety. One minor gripe, Signal Dynamics should have included longer leads; to reduce spliced extensions. And a redesign of the casing which should include a couple mounting holes, for those who opt for more secure screw mounting.

Installed this on my 03 Indian Chief Vintage. I had upgraded my tail light to an L.E.D. bulb, have not had a problem at all. Would like it to flash a little faster.

I installed the Backoff XP on my 2013 Victory Cross Country Tour. It took about 30 minutes. I did call Tech Support with a question since I wanted my main brake light and my trunk light to flash. The support given was right on. No one will now miss me putting on my brakes.

I have bought over 7 of these Back-Off X boxes. I put them on my Motorcypcles and all my cars and trucks. I really like the way people stay back from you when they see the flashes. Very comforting and a Super product!!

Straightforward install. Works as advertised. Would have been nice if the electrical connectors had been supplied. Hardest part of the job was getting to the brake wire on my Triumph Tiger 800 and identifying it.
