I don't think you'd have problems wiring strobes to your bike. It just takes a bit of patience working with the wiring. I think the wireless system you like is caught up in a patent dispute.
nwmtnbkr,

Thank you for the link. I think that they would solve the turn signal issue. Mounted on the handlebars they would have enough distance between them to actually be useful.
They are pricey though. They have a spot on the list.
I will probably go with the Nashbar brake light mounted under my snapdeck.

I could probably actually install a set up like yours, the problem is figuring out which parts I would need and where to get them. I don't have the knowledge base to make sure that everything would work together.
