EOC,
If you plan on interacting with any other traffic, I would suggest you find turn signals that don't stand out unless they are turned on. I have built a few Harley choppers and found that over the years, I needed more and more lights on the back to be seen by other drivers. Between poor driver's training and modern distractions like fancy displays on audio and cell phone usage, anything smaller than an 18 wheeler is unseen.
The rest of us on the Barn, would hate to hear of your early demise due to driver inattention.
Besides your flashlight may be mistaken for a Molotov Cocktail depending on where you are.
