Thanks for alerting me to this; it's going to the archive. It looks ideal, and I'd spring if it didn't cost $100. Here is a decent youtube illustration (the anecdote about the old lady rearending the speaker at 8 am in the morning makes me want to wear a helmet again).

The rear rack lamp mount is already taken up by the Toplight, but that isn't bright enough by itself to make me comfortable, and I do like a flasher as well. Oh well, the strobe will work until the price comes down or until I can scrounge up the cash.
