Headlight & brake light modulators are my best friends on my bike.   

The headlight mod definately makes me stand out & cut down on the number of people cutting in front of me. 

The brake mod flashes 3 quick flashes every 3 seconds.  It lets me concentrate on BRAKING & not flashing my lights.   :thumb:

Has anyone else noticed that you find your self looking alot more for motorcycles when in your car?  I check my blind spot like 3 times before changing lanes now.

Yes I've also noticed I'm a paranoid cage driver, if/when I do drive one. I scan my mirrors more, check blindspots, and try to visualize "whos behind me?" and "whos next to me?" from above, birdseye view.

I also make whoever I'm riding with check their mirrors, and tell them when there is a motorbike. I'm an ass, i guess, but at least they're aware.
