I had a headlight modulator on my previous scoot (BMW) from KisanTech. I noticed immediately by the reaction of other drivers that I was much more visible. It has a photo cell switch so that it only operates in daylight. Really worked great.

I always thought high beam in the daytime would be best. Think I might try the Kisan "path blazer" mentioned here on the street glide I recently bought. Any other forum members have an opinion on this product? It is supposed to pulsate the high beam during the day without damage to the bulb

If I'm on roads without a lot of traffic, and happen to ridin fast, I use low beams. Less visible to a cop "maybe".

If lots of traffic, multi-lane highways, bad weather, high beams for me all the way.

+1 on the headlight modulators. Sure maybe it's not macho to the hardcore out there but then again, DILLIGAF? Been using one for 24+ years now. They get noticed and are street legal in all 50 states (only the pattern may vary by state law).

I get told all the time "Hey somethings wrong with your headlight it keeps flashing." Mind you this is from cagers more than bikers. So obviously they draw attention.

Other than the color what would you notice faster a LEO with steady lights trying to pull you over or flashing lights (color aside)?
