Years ago there was a device that you could connect to your headlight that would make it "flicker" , bright to dim and back, but at a high enough rate it was unnoticable when riding at night, studies they had done showed the movement caught drivers attention much more than a static light.
Haven't seen one for ages, you guys know about em?
Yep, I have one on the 550F. First thing I put on it. 'Called "Headlight Modulator". 'Got it from <customdynamics.com> @$62,95 + S&H. [Cheap if it helps us be seen.] Surely others have 'em - maybe cheaper.
Easy installation. Fully automatic. It has a sensor [bottom of headlight bucket] that detects daylight and dark. Flashes in daylight and goes constant in darkness - and even heavy shade. Example: Is constant when I fire up in a lighted garage but flashes as soon as I get outside in the daylight.
Some folks don't like 'em - - to each his own. However, statistice say they DO make us MORE VISIBLE. If you have ever met one on the road, you will likely agree they do attract attention.
It is so well recognized that there is a federal law which prevents ANY state, county or city from making a law against them. Reason, some cops don't like 'em. I carry a copy of it under the seat in case I get stopped [as a few have]. I ain't selling 'em but I do believe they make the bike MORE VISIBLE.
