I had one on my C50 Suzuki and really liked it....Also had people tall me I had a short in my bulb, pull, over cause I looked officail etc... On the 08 Glide I just run all the lights and installed the HD fog lights on the bars. I run them all on all the time.

I had a similar opinion before I bought both of my bikes. However I'm wondering where I can get these for my Ultra. If it can make others notice me and save my life I'm all for installing this on my bike. Where do you buy these ? I'll put this on in a heartbeat if it will ensure my safety.....

Police in Texas have never given me a hard time. I just wave and ride on. Oncoming traffic sometimes flash their lights back at me though. Kinda makes me wonder if the just noticed it when we got close...otherwise I think they would understand that the flashing pattern is consistent, therefore intentional.

These so called head light modulators are illegal in a lot of States. I actually pulled over off the road after seeing this flashing headlight coming at me on a 2 lane road about a mile away. It turned out to be some jack *** with one of these headlight modulators. Pissed me off. I think there is a limit on what you should to do be seen and these modulators are way over the top in my opinion. Check your local laws. We have a lot of 2 lane highways here in Kansas and usually when you see a flashing headlight it means there is a KHP coming at you running about mach 2.
UPDATE: I just read that these modulators are legal in all 50 states and Canada and no local law can over ride this federal law. I still don't like them. Flashing headlights belong on emergency vehicles, not motorcycles.

I did the same thing and you have to look hard to see it. Mine is the Kisan Pathblazer.

This is true, and I carry a copy of the DOT regs in my saddlebag in case I get pulled over. So far in six years of travel through many states it hasn't happened, and I've only had two people pull over thinking I was a cop. I don't worry about it and know that I'm much safer using them. I've also had two people alert me that my headlight was "shorting out."
