I just bought two new Honda's, a Forman Es 4x4 and a Rancher Es 4x4. Both are 02 models and was very upset that when I got them home, neither had brake lights. Has no on at Honda ever riden behind someone with no brake lights. If they had, they would know how there bumpers work when there kissing the rear of the other atv. Heck my Scrambler 90 mini atv has a brake light and that only cost me $2000. I just spent $11000 on two Honda's and they don't. Well I'm done venting now, is there a kit I can get to put some brake lights on. If so, how much and how hard to put on?

This may seem very stupid, iv never tried it, but its a low budget brake light.

Get a very bright flash light, and put red tisue paper on it, wire it so that when you push the footbrake, the light will turn on. Also have another constant running flashlight. Both should be hooked onto the rear rack. So, get two flashlights. Have one flashlast just normal, running constantly. Have another flashlight, put red tissue paper over it, and wire it to the footbrake, so when you brake, the white light will stay on, but the red light will come on with it. Low budget... All you need is a few wires, two flashe lights and some tissue paper, and a hookup for two lights for the rear rack. Stupid idea, but I would be impressed if that worked LOL

<doesn't race> gain some situational awareness, glasses can help with depth perception too if the noise is too loud turn the hearing aid off. Ohh by the way brake light kits are available.

Go to a motorcycle salvage yard and get the parts for the brake light from a street bike. All you need is the pressure switches, then wire them to another bulb. Drill a new hole in your tail light and put the new blub in there. When you use the brakes, it will activate this new bulb. I have never been rear ended because I havent been seen. If this is being a problem, you need to find some new ridding buddies.
