if you want your harley to look like one of the jeep styled gs 1200 beemers, then go for the flashing headlight. imagine you're driving your truck or car down the highway and some a-hole following you keeps flashing their brights at you for miles at night. it'd irritate me enough to where we'd likely have a discussion that could get messy.

 

For all of those that consider a flashing light a safety feature, where in the hell did you learn that! Defense driving is a safety feature. A padded leather jacket and kevlar pants are only for the voices in your head, they will do absolutely nothing if you lay the bike down. Last I checked a flashing light didn't make anyone a better or worse driver, but if you do a quick search of this post most the people with flashing lights talk about 4-5 instances a year where they were almost in an accident. That is a rider skill issue and no amount of blinking lights is going to save your **** if you can't ride in a safe manner. I guess each there own and eventually Darwin will win out, that will be the only way to tell if the modulators actually work! Until then I have to put on my flip-flops and sleeveless shirt, IT's TIME TO RIDE!

 

That is freaking hilarious man!

 

There's the real Harley answer right there! "If you want your Harley to LOOK.....". It's all about image, isn't it?

P.S.- Modulators have an electric eye and don't work at night. So, you shouldn't have to worry about having any "messy" discussions.

 

Another educated comment.

I guess a helmet is for the "voices" in your head too?
Unbelievable!

 

Broadside a car. Same result, with or without. Less road rash for the mortician to put make-up on.

Image is important, but the Dorks don't seem to have picked up on that aspect of life.

Modulators are just as annoying in the daylight. So the "discussions" can still take place. That or a small hammer at the next rest area. "Boink!"

"Oh look, no more Blinkie,...."

Fess up guys,... it's all about bragging rights, ain't it?

"My light blinks!",...... "I am bullet proof now!"

 

Another educated genius?

 

Thank you. You're too kind.

 

I think they are annoying but do not fault anyone for having one on their scoot. If I notice them enough to think they are annoying then I guess they are performing as advertised, they have got my attention.
