Warning: If you stop on an expressway due to a breakdown or accident without displaying **a warning device (such as a triangular reflector)**, you commit a “disabled vehicle display violation.”
Challenge: Motorcycles don’t have much space for a large triangular reflector.
Solution: Carry the **”Amon Purple Saver (emergency stop light)”** which complies with Road Traffic Law regulations.
Benefit: Palm-sized and easy to store; its powerful light alerts following vehicles to your presence and prevents secondary accidents.
Conclusion: For riders on expressways, it’s no longer a **”charm” but an “essential item.”**

The width and position are ideal. Being able to mount it on the bag is a real advantage for those with multiple bikes.
Let me explain the quick mounting method.
As shown in the image, thread the “belt ridge toward you” through the hook.
Thread it through the flat side of the belt, not the ridge, or it won’t slide smoothly. Threading it ridge-first puts a lot of stress on the belt, so be careful.
Flip it around and you’re done mounting. Apply tension with 2–3 ridges and you’re all set!
In an emergency, you can activate it like this. Since it’s mounted on the bag rather than the bike frame, it works with many different motorcycles.
You can also remove the bag and place it farther from the bike, which is another advantage.
“Required only during emergency stops on expressways”
You face a “disabled vehicle display violation,” resulting in a ¥6,000 fine and 1 violation point. Before you find yourself in trouble on an expressway, please consider using one.
Don’t Get Fined! Essential Safety Gear for Highway Riding: “Purple Saver”
Law: In Japan, if you stop on a highway due to a breakdown, you are legally required to display a warning device. Failure to do so results in a fine (“Violation of duty to display disabled vehicle”). Problem: Standard triangular reflectors are too bulky for motorcycles. Solution: The Amon Purple Saver is a compact, flashing LED light that is legally approved as a substitute. Advice: It fits easily under a bike seat. Carry one to avoid fines and prevent secondary accidents.
