headlight modualtor is cool
Just put in my modulator and it's pretty cool! I plan to do the running light mod soon too. It won't run at night, and I assume that you don't want to run it when riding in a group, are there any other times when it shouldn't be used? Thanks

IMO, the modulator is probably the #1 safety feature you can add to ANY bike. Perfect? No - but it definitely helps.
I turn it off in group rides, unless runnin' lead or sweep - other than that, it's on at all times.

Put one on couple years ago and did the light mod also. Use it most of the time, and when I do I see alot of cagers coming out of side streets do a double take. When on long rides especially the interstate several times I come up behind someone and they catch sight of me in their mirror, start slowing and pull over. The modulator, 2 tone silver fairing and the half hemet, I think they believe they are being pulled over by a leo. I get a kick out of the looks on their faces when I go by.

Mine is a Kisan unit. There are other cheaper ones...but the Kisan units have always enjoyed a reputation for quality and customer service. Don't recall what ah paid - jest google 'em.

Mine is a Kisan too. I think it was something like $109 to my door. The modulator plug was a really tight fit against the rubber around the headlight plug so I made couple small cuts in the rubber so it would lay down and allow the modulator to fully connect. I haven't mounted the sensor in the inner yet, just ran it up and zip tied to the brake cable.

RonH, which model did you use? I wonder how it would look or work in the passing lights?
