    DEFINITELTY installing headlight modulators

    Geezuz...!

    Not even 300 miles on my F6B yet... and TWICE today cagers tried to pull out in front of me. That never happened since installing modulators on my other prior bikes. I have used modulators for years; now I am again witnessing what happens without them.

    I practice all the defensive riding techniques; but I need these darned things here in the congested Balt-Wash DC corridor. The traffic around here could be murder... if you let it.

    Will be placing an order tonight to Kisan; for them.

    If I may add: I too used the modulators on two Goldwings. The problem is that DEER also freeze in their tracks. I totaled my 2008 Wing in California in 2013. The modulators are great, but I would recommend switching the function off in deer areas. Good luck.

    If I can't fix it, I will fix it so no one can fix it.

    funny you should mention. I was thinking about these yesterday...did you look at all fog options and come up with these? In keeping with the OP...do these do what we want (re modulator alternative ) during the day?

    I have HID low beams, 960 led fogs, and white turn led signal ..since I've added all that I've had almost no issues at all. My bike is highly visible from a great distance now with all that super bright white light....just a thought.
    The force is strong in this one.....

    I have the LED rectangular FogLight kit on order (currently backordered) from WingStuff.com

    On my current DR650 and my prior owned Rocket 3, I was running modulators as well as the ADV Monster M30 LED's:

    The M30's are very noticeable; and when used with the modulating headlight; a blind man couldn't help but notice you.
