Agree 100% !! Just today almost got taken out by a person who Just didn't see me ... But because I always act like someone turning out infront of me doesn't see me I slowed down and good thing because like most " idiots" after they realized they cut me off they panicked and came to a complete stop ! Luckily no1 was coming from opposite direction

 

I know lots of people hate them. Ask me if I care. I know my modulator makes me more visible. Now if I had a bike with spotlights (i.e. 3 front lights) I would not use it. But with just one headlight, the modulator does its job. I have lost count of how many times some douche nozzle started to pull out on me, then did a double take and stopped. In my area of Florida, there is an army of crypt keepers on the road. Anything that improves my odds is a plus in my book. I also wear a helmet. I know, how gay can you get right...

 

I hear Glock 9mm's really make you and your bike stand out. That or sling an AR across your back.

 

Maybe we should all put a giant orange flag on a pole on the back of our bikes, then we would stick out like sore thumbs!

 

Thanks for the input guys. I already have a light bar and it seems to get me noticed most of the time. Most people have never seen 3 headlights coming at them.LOL I was just kinda thinking for more visibility. Again, many thanks.

 

Heh, I like that idea.

 

I have seen them and I find them distracting and not in a good way.

 

In fact, i run the High Beam 100% of the time when i'm riding.
At night, i can only see MAYBE 20ft in front of my with the low beam.

Does anyone else actually use the low-beam...?

 

Maybe you need to adjust your headlight properly then. I have very sensitive eyes (to the point where I'll wear sunglasses indoors at times, I've disconnected the overhead lights above my cubicle at work, and I have dimmers on all of my interior lights of my home). When folks drive around with their brights on at night (from ignorance that they're on, they have a headlight out and are compensating, or they just can't see without them), it creates an issue for me. I'll look down and to the right until the car passes, but on a bike I seriously hate to do that for obvious reasons. By you driving with your high beam on at night, it creates a safety hazard for EVERYONE, especially those with sensitive eyes like me. That's why it's illegal.

 

I did until I adjusted my headlight up. I think all bikes low beams are adjusted too low from the factory. Just take the necessary tools with you and find a good dark road and adjust your headlight on the low beam until it looks good to you. Remember though you can adjust it too high.
