Harley headlamp modulation kit, anyone?
Has anyone mounted this part? This is new for me and it sounds like a good product. Any pros and cons?
Thx!

Harley headlamp modulation kit, anyone?
Here's what I have had on my 2010 Street Glide for the past 2 years. It works great and is a snap to install. Simply unplug the connector from the headlight, and plug one end of the modulator into the harness and the other end into the headlight. It definitely gets peoples attention and looks like it is a lot smaller than the Harley brand. It uses the high beam instead of the low beam,and includes an eye which turns it off when riding at night. Hope this helps you decide. I see the one Harley sells is $10.00 cheaper, but cheaper is not always the best.

Is pink the only color they come in? If I ever drop my fairing I wouldn't want people to see my pink undies.

I think that they irritate the general populace.
Just more of the "Damn motorcycles!" reaction on the part of cagers that won't understand how you could be so inconsiderate.
Plus I believe that they lead to a false sense of security when approaching intersections.
A strobe light on top of your helmet accomplishes the same thing, so I guess it's just a matter of degree?

I bought mine from Newcastle H-D. I think w/ 20% discount 84.95 plus shipping. Works great. Not a big fan of the on/off switch since I just installed Klockwerks mantle beach bars. And ran hand controls internally. So I just cut the wires ran internally and soldered with heat shrink.

Carry a copy of the Federal Motor Transport regulation which indicates these "wig wag" style lights are legal on motorcycles. I've been pulled over and told by a state trooper these are illegal until I pulled out the regs.

When I had my metric bike with only a single headlight, I had a couple of near misses with people cutting across my path.
I installed the Kisan headlight modulator and the effect was immediately noticeable. Cagers waited longer for me to pass before pulling out on to my road or they waited longer to let me pass before turning left across my road.
When I rode with others, I made sure that the modulator didn't annoy them. If it had, I would just have gone to high beam and turned it off.
My Road King has the large headlight and two smaller lights and I haven't had the same experience with people ignoring me.
My experience with a headlight modulator was VERY positive.
