I agree, and have the Kisan, Rivco air horns, and the Kury run/stop/turn module. Now, where can we buy a high-output bulb for the newfangled blade-type tail light on the '07's? It is not the usual bayonet type. The stock unit is not very bright.

I don't love them. But without a doubt they work. It is all well and good to say that cagers are stupid for pulling out in front of us but the truth is we are just hard to see sometimes. The headlight modulator makes you stick out.

It was about dusk one day and I was in my car ata stop sign waiting for traffic to clear so I could pull out onto the highway. Looked to the left and there was an 18 wheeler - to the right a string of traffic. So I just sat there. When I looked back to the left I noticed something I missed before - abike, running directly in the headlight path of thesemi. I thanked God for the traffic coming the other way - 'cause I just didn't see that bike. I might have pulled out in front of him. A headlight modulator would have made the bike show itself real quickly.

I have ridden since 1970 and have logged miles all over the eastern US. I would say that I am more "aware" of motorcycles than the average person. If I didn't see that bikeit doesn't surprise me that the average cager would miss us too. To make myself and the loved ones that I ride with safer -I use a modulator.

I've had mine installed since March, and it does get attention, and that makes it work. It is a simple plug-n-play. I've had no close calls since the install.

I wouldn't ride without one. It definately works and I've never had a negative comment about it. Come to think of it I've never had a negative comment about anything. Must be the biker image.

Kinda looks like the KISAN works only on high beam and the Comagination does both low/high.

Is that right??? Best one for an Ultra??? thx dave h

I bought both the Headlight and brake flasher from Comagination , didn't get them on yet but........................ Well I know they ain't doing me any good still in the box. Headlight is plug and play, the flasher on the other hand is splice and, well electrical stuff isn't my strong suit. Nuts and bolts on the other hand is my niche.

The only modulators I have seen work only on high beam and disable themselves at night. You shoulda told that guy behind you to turn his freakin high beams off! [:@]

As someone who had 7 surgeries on a leg because a cager turned in front of me "cause he didn't see me".... I will be adding this mod as well. I just can't decide between the modulator or an HID kit for the bike. Seems you can't have both.

I hate those things. I see them when I'm in my cage and I think it's someone trying to tell me something is wrong with my vehicle. []
Can't say I hate 'em, but I too think they can cause confusion. I recall once riding in a group and the guy behind me had one. After our first stop, I made sure to stay behind him. It was irritating to look in the mirror and see that flashing light. I tried not to look, but ......

I don't ever plan to get one for my bike.
