Perhaps - but the cops in my area don't seem to care and it's better to see your neme on a ticket than on a death certificate. I noticed that many of the bikes at the 2017 IBR had some sort of strobing LED (see vid below): Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I saw that come up in EDR's Facebook postings. What did they do for you? Remounted my wheels (new tires), changed the oil, washed and waxed. Light was failing by the time I got around to taking the picture. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DriverDave 140 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 They weren't bad when new, but once I passed 2000 miles, they really started to wear uneven and started to feel pretty crappy. I think I only got about 4000 miles out of them. Unless you do a lot of rain riding, I don't think the PR4 is that great on a VFR. I like the Dunlop Roadsmart line and the Angel GT the best.
