What have been your experiences with these things? I'm wondering if it ever annoys other drivers to rage point. |

I saw an oncoming bike the other day with one. It's not annoying but definitely gets your attention. I'm probably going to get one. Majority of accidents is a cage ignoring the motorcycles right of way at an intersection... Visibility is good me thinks... |

A headlight modulator switches ( a Q-H bulb or bulbs ) from high to low beam at a freq designed to alert oncoming drivers w/out giving them "fits". They may extend the life of a Quartz-Halogen bulb, but I'm not betting on that. ( Don't worry about shortening the life of your bulb, they almost always burn out the low beam first ) I suspect they won't work on H.I.D. lights. They do increase your obviousness, which is good, I'm not sure about giving someone road rage if you follow them several miles. You turn them off at night, or you can acid trip strobe light your way off the road. http://www.webbikeworld.com/Motorcycle-technical-articles/modulator.htm edited by aesquire on May 17, 2004 edited by aesquire on May 17, 2004 |
