Question Stop/tailight modulator help

I have a 2006 Super Glide that I haven't riden much the last couple years, but plan on changing that this year. I have searched the subject here and many posts are several years old. I am definately going to get something to light-up the back better, but the headlight flasher I am not sure about. I need some advice on what works well. I am unable to spent a small fortune on this as I am now retired so I am looking for the "best bang for the buck". As for the headlight flasher, the only times I have had anyone pull out in front of me is around sunset when cagers are looking directly into the sun, but a flasher may have helped.

Any advise is greatly appreciated!

Larry

Bright *** Light. Slightly pricy at $200 for the BAL-1, but worth every penny.

What he said! By far, the brightest and best quality flashing brakelight on the market.
Nothing else compares.
Get this one.

Cycle Vision plug-in module to convert brake light to running light, and rear directional lights to running lights&brake lights. They also blink 3 times when brake is applied.

About $60 and comes with red tail light lenses (I think).

Some people think it isn't cool but I'm past the point of giving a chit! I wear a bright azz vest,jacket or t shirt,depending on the weather! I guess it works! I haven't been run over yet! I also have the turn/stop light modular,no flashing head light!

Kisan make a good modulator. They even have one for the new LED Phase 7 headlights.

Recently saw a video about two teams passing a basketball and a gorilla. Made a point that people don't see a motorcycle because they aren't looking for a motorcycle. I think the badass lite is a good thing. We should all assume that any car we see that can enter our projected path is going to do so. I have pulled in front of a motorcycle once because of setting sun and dirty windows. Went home and cleaned windows as this was irresponsible on my part.

Stay away from Harley run/stop/brake mine lasted about 5 months and the right side quit working. I read lots of complaints on them. I took it back to Harley and got an answer of too bad.
