| Anyone added a modulator to their vision yet?
I always run one on my bikes but I don't see any bike specific listings yet so was wondering if someone has a part# that worked for them. Thanks..... |

Pittsburgh, PA | I always wanted to ask someone this, does that modulator shorten the bulbs life? |

| Ark, no not at all. In fact I've never had a bulb failure or one that needed replaced with all the miles I've ridden since I first installed a headlite modulator (over 300k, but 3 bikes). I've also never had a modulator failure. I've used both the Kisan PathBlazer single bulb modulator, and the Comaginations dual bulb modulator. I prefer the Kisan of the two brands but it is more expensive. So if price is a concerns either work fine. I stick with these two as they are simple plug ins with no wire splicing/cutting.
Well based on the lack of response I suppose I'll be the first. I'll post when I find a good option and with a difficulty rating on installation |

| I have a modulater. I'm hesitant to install it because to me its a Pain in the A** to change lightbulbs on the Vision and I have small hands. |

Tacoma, WA | I just don't care for them. I do know that when a bike has one on behind me, it really is annoying, so I choose not to annoy other motorists. Just my take. -----Metalguy |

San Antonio, TX | Can you turn them on or off or are they always on?
When riding in a group or at night I would want them off. When leading a group or when riding by myself in daylight I would want them on. |

Western WA | I've had the Kissan on other bikes, and I'll probably put one on the Vision one of these days.
I've heard that they are annoying to other drivers, but at least the drivers SEE you - it gets their attention.
The modulator works on the high beam, when switched to low it stops modulating. There is a photo-sensor that also cuts the modulator signal when it gets dark so you can use your high beams without worry.
And yeah. . . I'm a chicken. You install and report back with detailed instructions Teach, I'll follow.  |
