headlight modulator
I just bought my first bike ('02 F4I Yellow and Black). What are the general thoughts about headlight modulators? From what I've read they are legal as long as they have a sensor that turns it off at night. Anyone have any suggestions of which to buy or easiest to install?

RE: headlight modulator
Isn't that how all headlight modulators work? Don't all of them modulate just the high beams? I guess I'm confused when you say they are pointless. If you don't like the pulsing part of it, I understand that and that's why you don't use one. It might look ridiculous to some, but to others its an attention getter and that's what they want. I don't have one, so I'm not defending them because of that, I just wanted to present the other side

Personally I think anything that blinks rapidly like that should be left for emergency vehicles.

RE: headlight modulator
I really don’t mind if people think it looks retarded or irritating because that’s what I would be going for, to be noticed! Plus it sounds like something that you could turn off when you didn’t want it on. So that being said, does anyone have a suggestion on brand, or best place to get one? Plus, how hard are they to install?
