Y-B, the gizmo you rigged up is very similar to what I installed on my last motorcycle. Really helps with conspicuity. I used HyperLites but there are several brands. Some question about legality but I'll risk that.

I gave up motorcycles about two years ago after close to 50 years and many hundreds of thousands of miles of crash-free riding - I recognized that my reactions aren't getting any quicker, and frankly the drivers in the SF Bay Area are getting more and more, and worse and worse. What kept me intact all those years was riding as if 80% of the people can't see me, and 20% are aiming at me. Translates well to Model A-dom.
