Flashing headlights on motorcycles should be out-lawed.

Hmmmm...that leaves 1 eye left still....

I don't like pulsating light bulbs on scoots, even if they work, they always make me think the damn thing is broke.

I would love to have had one when the lady with the motor home towing an SUV turned left in front of us and stopped. It has taken eight months to be able to get back on the bike. I will be getting one for the limited very soon. Anything I can do to be seen, I don't care who I **** off.

Headlight modulators are legal in all 50 states... but that doesn't mean that every cop is aware of the law.... The modulator kits come with a copy of the law to show the cop... as he gives you tickets, for everything else he finds...

I don't like them.... besides pissing off folks... they often overpower the turn signals, and fols ay not know you're turning...

I like the idea of a brake light that flashes a few times when applied, but constant flashing on either end is annoying. JMO

+1.

Very annoying and distracting.

+1 Like everything else on my bike I put it on for me. Annoying or not they work. They don't as was mentioned overpower the turn signals(no brighter than your highbeam). If anything because they do get your attention people are prone to see your signal because their eyes are drawn to it.

But like I said it's my preference. To each their own. As for LEO's if you get pulled over and cited for that.... Damn was he bored or what? Unless it was the not up legal standards most everyone runs.
