Does anyone run one? I just purchased the LSC-100A from superbrightleds.com. I figure anything to help get people's attention is a good idea.

I added a brakelight (LED emergency light) where the tag light was, when I switched to tag light bolts. I also added an LED strip inside my topcase lens.

The emergency light I leave steady-on - it's too bright to flash, I'd give someone a seizure at a light!

The other two - factory brakelight and topcase brakelight - I run through one of these:

2 channels, so they "alternate", and seven different choices including a "random" pattern that scrolls through all the patterns. I have mine set for alternate/1200. Not really a "flash", but looks almost like a vibration. Definitely gets your attention.

I've had one of these: http://www.vleds.com/flashers-modules/brake-light- flash-strobe-module.html on my bike since 2009.

The one you list should work, and has a good price, if it works.

Just to be sure, you should check the regs with your state DMV. Some states do not allow a mod that would make the OEM lights flash or anything other than what they did fresh off the assembly line. Of course this is just a nuisance regulation. You probably won't get challenged on it unless you've already been stopped and now they're looking for any extras to add to the ticket.

Just to verify, the R/Y wire is the brake light, correct?

Yup, it's the R/Y wires. I installed the strobe today and it works great!
