The flash is pulsatile, so it's a little to uniform for that. I haven't run into that problem (knock wood). If anything it causes confusion, which will stop most people in their tracks until they figure it out. Besides, someone in Jersey slowing down to let others make a left turn would cause MORE confusion than anything. It's just not something we do.

I got my headlight modulator / brake light flasher combo for $85 at http://www.comagination.com/modBike.htm.

Well, my headlight bounces around enough as it is, people already think that Im flashing the lights all the time. Aside from that, the tri-bar LED rear helps out some, and as Freefall said - the apes and me stretched out make me more noticeable. My pipes really get the most attention from the brain deads running around. If I am creeping up on someones side on a two laner, I usually rap on em a bit, next thing you know they turn their head and say "oh, oh my, there is a motorcyclist RIGHT next to me. Why, I had better not try to merge whilst not using thy turn signal, for I may just turn him into a black, blue, and leather pancake." haha, and I think I probably drown out peoples conversations and radio when I come by.
Firm believer in loud pipes save lives, I use mine like some people use their horns.

Deadeye,
I think you will be fine. They are more worried about your pipes, signals, light and horn. I went through JCI several times and several of my buddies had apes. I had to stuff my pipes full of steel wool just to pass though.
Good luck!
