Ken; I ride a fair amount at night; I don't do all nighters, but when I ride at night it's for maybe a hour or two max. I have found over the years by personal experience and by seeing others on the road myself while in a car that multiable tailights are more effective then just using 1, and the newer modern brighter LED's are also more noticible then the old candle flickers we had before. When I ride at night, or on a tour, I ride with endbar lights as well as three tailights on the rear to form a triangle shape. Sometimes the bags cause a problem, but velcro takes care of most of that. But the round shaped BLT or Dinotte interest me because I think I can attach with velcro straps to the sides better then square jobs to the rear of a bag.

I'm also needing a new helmet and I'm seriously looking at the Bell Metro with it's ability to attach a tailight to the space provided in the helmet.
