    Now you tell me. The added benefit of these is travelling in the left lane cars do seem to pull to the middle lane when you come up behind them.





    Yup. Noted. Deer are an omnipresent hazard up here in Maryland.

    That is correct. It does happen. Which is a good thing.

    Today I had two cagers pull over in front of me and stop; thinking I was a LEO. Cracks me up. There's no blue and red flashing lights; only modulating white lights.

    I just look at them when I pass by...

    These high beams are DEFINITELY more noticeable on the F6B; compared to other bikes I have had. I am especially conscious now to turn the modulation off when I am sitting at a red light; or stuck in traffic and I am behind a car.

    Yup they've done that to me to, one blonde stopped dead in the middle of a narrow country road thinking I was a motor cop. Right, a cop wearing a leather vest and black t shirt?

    For a fellow board member who was asking; this is where I mounted the Modulator's ambient light sensor:

    do you know if the modulator will work properly with LED headlights?

    I have used the Kisan mod on 3 bikes now. I mounted the light sensor same place as in the pic and used the long needle nose to assist install as in the pic. Traveled through many staes and never stopped. Had a few cops give me the thumbs up thinking I was another LEO and many pulled over cars or slowed out of my way. A few individuals in cars have hollered how irritating my lights are.... I thank them for noticing and not pulling in front of me. I think all bikes sold should have these. People are always taking a double look when I am coming and they are starting to pull out from somewhere. In the Orlando, FL area where many tourist and Yankees are always visiting and gawking not knowing where they are it is even more important as they are looking for street signs and billboards.

    The specific modulator that I have installed from Kisan will not work with LEDS. However...

    ...Kisan does make a headlight modulator for LEDS. There is a drop down field in the below page where you can select the "LED version"

    willtill,
    Nice job on the write up and pics! I'm inspired to purchase a set of these after seeing your post.
