Had a guy stop short at a light to let me know my headlight was flashing and "that short could catch you bike on fire"

Have many of us have heard this at a light with the KISAN:
Up along side someone and down comes the window: "excuse me sir, I think there is something wrong with your light - it is flashing like a police vehicle".
Haven't exprienced this in around five years running the Kisan modulator, but I have had two or three people in front of me react as if I was a police vehicle. One almost wrecked her car when she attempted to take to the shoulder when there was none. Another few times people blinked their lights at me in daylight, presumably to alert me to a lighting malfunction.

Soos,

I took the easy/quick way for now - behind the light thru the fairing - up the handle bars - and behind my beer holder

The cable is fairly stiff, so she sits vertical with a little help from a small piece of Velcro. Looks fine.

Next time the fairing comes off, I may mount internally. Then again, maybe not.

Do they make one for the Road Glides?? Do you need two of them since there are two head lights??
Well, I didn't see where anyone else answered this, so...
I bought the Diamond Star for my 05 RG along with the extra kit for dual headlights. Yanked the fairing and lo, the dual headlights are actually fed off of a "T". Simply patch into or before the T and the extra kit is not needed.
