I haven't had a motorcycle with "50 state legal" head or taillights for decades. I have traveled all of the contiguous states, Alaska, the ten Canadian provinces, and two of the three territories. Only Hawaii (and Nunavut) has escaped me. I have never been written a citation for lighting. If you make any officer mad, they can write you for this, that, or the other. If your lighting is high quality, well done, properly aimed, and sufficient and sensible without being blinding or stupid, I don't think you will attract much attention. My brake light flashes quickly four times and stays on. I have a 40 second timeout so that if I activate and release and reactivate the brakes within 40 seconds, it will not flash again. That keeps it from being a "light show" in stop-n-go traffic.
