I bought and had it installed on the Yamaha V Star....if it works well, I will buy another one for my GZ....I was told it would stop traffic! Which we ALL want to be seen on these bikes. I almost got run over the other day turning. This guy approached me from behind and passed me as I was turning!!!! I blew my horn and gave him a gesture...he just looked at me and returned the gesture! A**hole! And he was in the wrong!!!!!!!!!!

Hi roscosmom, I like the idea of the headlight modulator I may install one on my GZ. After a similar experience with 2 different cage drivers almost rear ending me :cuss: I installed a set of hyper-lites which you can find on their web site. www.hyperlites.com (http://www.hyperlites.com) These 16 LED bars are easy to install and really make your rear end stand out when braking! See the pic of where I put them on the sides of the rear fender. They come with some really neat splice fittings that allow you to wire them into the brake light circuit without cutting any wires. The instructions also show a wiring color code for several bike manufacturers but it helps to look at the wiring schematic to understand the circuit better. The biggest hassle of installation is getting at the rear brake light because I had to remove the rear sub fender to get at the brake light assembly screws.

Safe riding, Phil

It's too late now but those same wires are accessable under the seat......with only the turn of a key! :cry:

philbert,
i had my modulator installed for me.....a small whole has to be drilled in the headlight and i wasnt comfortable doing it. but it has made a huge difference!
