Kisan has a direct bulb replacement with a built in modulater.
Pricey for a bulb - like $60-70.

I installed one from Comagination. It's a bit larger than a flasher unit and I wired it in under my seat.
Had it for a year now - works like a charm.
I got both the headlight and brakelight modulator from Comagination for about $ 90.-
I'm happy

I installed the "Back-Off" tail light unit. I really like it. Works great and was pretty easy to install.

I've had many riders tell me how they like the rear driving lights at night and how visible the rear lights are when slowing to a stop (with the flashing and all).

I've had the Comagination headlight modulator since Sept and it works great. During the Winter, I'll be picking up the brake light mod as well. They have great products at good prices.

I have the brake light modulator from customdynamics.com. I think it is the best because of its programmability.

What do you all think of these LED spinner lights? I see a lot of them for sale on Ebay, apparently they just plug into the stock bulb socket? Their description:

The BRAKE LIGHT SPINNER uses a high tech miniature programmed circuit that make the led lights SPIN in one direction for four rotations and then reverse and SPIN in the opposite direction for 4 rotations. When you apply your brakes all twelve led lights FLASH rapidly alerting the vehicle behind you that you are slowing down.

Sounds kinda cool, but also sounds kinda busy and obnoxious? Anybody got one? What do you think?

I'm not a fan of LED tail lights, they have as a rule a 15 deg angle of view, yeah I know, the big rigs have them but look at where there at, right a eye level where as on a bike there down low plus, I don't for sure, I've heard that there some legal issues in some states with these so check before you buy.
