Saftey First fellas .. I was wondering about front head light Modulators ..anybody use one of these ? Last week not to far from my house this rider got in an accident when a young chick pulled right infront of him it was 4:30 on a sunny day . Got me thinking a bit . I always seem to notice the bikes with the flashing head light . i dont really care for it but if it will help get myself noticed im all for it . I forgot to mention i ride in Florida . Thanks for the input .

FMVSS 108 (Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards) (49 CFR Part 571.108 S7.9.4) allows motorcycle headlight modulation systems in all 50 states provided they comply with the standards set forth in this section.


Title 49 USC 30103(b1) (US Codes) prohibits any state from forbidding a system that conforms to FMVSS 108.

I've used this companies product on my Kawi Ninja. Works great and gets me noticed. People sometimes flash me back, but at least i know they saw me. Haven't bought it for my 1200R yet.
