Modulators are annoying
#51
No, not at all. Daytime for daylight visibility only. There is a sensor that automatically turns them off at night.

It would be interesting to see the stats on accidents with and with out strobe.I don't like them either, but have had to many close head ons.

I don't have one on my bike but my wife does. In the last seven days I've had two people (both women, but who's keeping track) pull out in front of me. If the modulator would have prevented that I don't care who is annoyed it would be worth it. Somehow "loud pipes save lives" but modulators don't? If you don't want it on (for example in a group ride or when waiting behind another vehicle in traffic) just go to low beam and it's deactivated. I think they should be mandatory on bikes and I'm ordering one for myself today. If that makes me un-cool I'm happy!

You stepped over the line with the mandatory remark. Nanny state bull crap. I really don't care what you put on your bike or your wife's but wanting to put crap on my bike is wrong. If someone pulling out in front of you causes you anxiety then you might work on them anticipations skills. Like I have stated before. I see lots of stupid crap when riding but near misses---not many. I see them coming for miles.

You guys all missed the most important feature on his bike. Flip to 3:33 and check out his way cool handlebar mounted fan. Engine must run real hot with all those flashing lights.
If you want to see how Goldwing modulating bright light looks like a plane landing, check out 1:49 on this video.

What's the big deal about menstruators? It only lasts for 5-6 days, then everything is normal again.
Huh?.....Ohhh.
Nevermind.
