I have the Kissan modulator on my 07 RG, just tell them the model of the bike and they will send you right parts, Real easy to install (even for me with little mechanical ability), also I got the brake light modulator a little harder to install (you have to cut into the main wiring harness, but I had an experienced friend do it). Definitely makes you more visible. Well worth the Money.

I've been using a modulator since I got my bike in February.&nbsp\\; I've had two cars pull over so far.&nbsp\\; The only bad thing about the modulator is getting people to go first at a four way stop.&nbsp\\; I, usually, just go ahead and go as the cagers won't budge!&nbsp\\; Crazy cagers!

have the kisan on my eg classic.&nbsp\\; also, imho, install the kit that turns your rear turn signals into brake lights and then add the modulator that causes your brake lights to "flash" from fast to solid when either brake applied.&nbsp\\; i love it when someone pulls over thinking i'm "the man"...ride safe

Had my first one in 2001. Just 45 minutes ago a guy stopped me in a parking lot and told me my lights were flashing.I told him it's a modulator designed to help me be seen and not hit. Been on this bike since I bought it in 2005. Have had LOTS of people tell me about it flashing.

Does it modulate when you are on a night ride?
Sometimes I swear I've already installed the
modulator after downing a few Buds.

Nope - has a light sensor to preclude that...

I just routed mine up to the bars and Velcro'd it - very inconspicuous actually.

I used a Kriss unit in my bike and wired it to the aux switch so I could shut the modulation off when riding in a group
It works really well cagers noticably give me a wider berth with it on

How do you modify the harness so your spots are always on?

Thanks!
