I bought a Firefly brand modulator for my Suzuki GS1000G about five
years ago.  Still works fine.  Only thing I do not like is when I go
from low to high beam it takes about one second to bring the lamp up to
full intensity.  This of course is with the modulator turned off, but
still wired in.  From my understanding, all modulators should be wired
to run the high beam only, and they all should have a switch to turn the
modulation off.  Oh yea, the cost of mine was $49 also.

It is a good feeling to see drivers come out of crossroads stop, look,
look again and track you as you go by.  Slow passers tend to get out of
the left lane on multilane highways faster too.

Another safety light I have seen around town is a pair of 2" diameter
red lights mounted level or just below the tail light.  The light flash
alternatingly when the brake is applied.  You can't miss it, but it is
not obnoxious.
