Thread: Headlight/Taillight Modulators - Worth it?

Finally picked up tail light flasher. Now just need to find time to mount it.

There has been some debate whether headlight modulators are effective. Yes, it attracts attention, but there were some debate that it may confuse drivers. I have discovered Hyper-Whites, made by the same company that produces the Hyper Lites, the LED flasihing brake lights which I have installed on the back of my bike. They claim that these white running lights that are installed on the front of the bike are 10 times brighter than their brake...

I've always been hesitant about headlight modulators. At least around where I live, people tend to flash their headlights at other vehicles to indicate it's ok to pull out in front of them. I'd be afraid someone would mistake the modulation of my headlight for this and pull out in front of me! Brake light modulators, on the other hand, are fantastic! I actually just installed the Back Off XP brake light modulator on my FZ and I...

Not saying anyone is wrong. Just offering my opinion. I have almost head on collisioned a bike with its high beams on. It was dusk. I was sick, and did not feel well. His light dazzled my eyes, I target fixated on him and found myself driving directly at him. I was in my truck. It would of killed him. I see riders with their highbeams on, but it hurts my eyes. It aggravates me. I am sure it aggravates others. I doubt aggravated cages are as...

Someone suggested Knight Riderz on another forum for my Vstar 1300. I put one on my Vstar 1300 recently and like it. It has 3 wires to connect: brake light, running light, and ground. I used some T taps I got a Walmart for about $1.38. The install was easy and I mounted it by removing the reflector above my license plate and placing it there. More light back there at night is good. Enough about the Vstar now... So, I like it so much, I think...

I saw a few of bikes with modulators. I found it very distracting. The one I saw from the front looked like an emergency vehicle. From the back, it looked like a distracting light show. I don't know if they are safer or not, but they looked pretty annoying to me.

I just installed the custom dynamics Knight Riderz sequential LED light bar with flashing brake alert. I absolutely love it. Huge improvement visibility wise from the rear. Especially at night. I know not everyone will be crazy about the sequential "knight Rider" effect but they make a non sequential one too. Check it out Night Rider LED Light Bar No pics yet. I will have to bust out the new digi cam and see if I can record...
