Have you actually got the bike already or what? Wheres' the conundrum? [something puzzling, confusing, or mysterious]. It's the 23rd February..so no Link to comment
Paul Mihalka Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 From previous posts I think headlight modulators are illegal in the U.K. or any part of Europe. Besides I don't know what the modulators would do to the can-bus electric system of the bike. Link to comment
TEWKS Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 My thoughts on the headlight modulators are that the cheeseburger eating / makeup applying / cell phone talking / kid smacking / newspaper reading / crowd will take the flashing light as a signal to cut across your path on their left turn. Or in your case their right turn. Pat Link to comment
John Bentall Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Ah the conundrum! You have have made so many posts about improving lights, visibility (modulators), and the horns that I thought you must be dissatisified with what's there already! I'd like H.I.D lights but I hardly ride in the dark at all. I have bought mainly BMW accessories i.e tankbag because there were no aftermarket solutions at the time. If you have a Garmin GPS or Tom Tom Rider, I can thoroughly recommend the Motorrad Concepts mount. Autocom communications as well. Link to comment

Ah, if you were IAM_man you would know a few more black rats Headlight modulators are illegal in the UK. Only the emergency services may have continuously flashing headlights. The police take this very seriously and will stop you - impersonating a police officer may appear on the charge sheet. Not worth the hassle. Look to your RoSPA training and use road positioning and situational awareness to keep you out of trouble. Andy Link to comment

This is a great time to bone up on the foibles and the ins and outs- I have the Stebel ready to mount cos the std horn is feeble. Ive had 1100s and 1150s before so I'm pretty familiar with the brand etc. This forum is a great source of info. No sat nav for me - I have a Tmobile Compact 3 phone with built-in Sat nav in case I get lost- often getting lost is the best way of finding those great roads! Sits in my pocket until needed!
