does anyone have these on their bikes? do you think its worth it do people see you more on the roads?

do people misinterpret it as a flashing of the lights to go ahead?

thanks.

I have used them for years on several of my other bikes. I am currently not using one now for the fact that the one I kept off my old ride is a dual unit (for sale  Grin) and there is no clearance in the headlight bucket(they plugi n inline on the bulb connector) and I would have to get really creative on its ass. Plus, I have the flash-to-pass lever/button on the RS so I use it instead for corss traffic, driveway traffic, passing etc. But I highly recommend them. They do make you stand out.

EDIT: I have been running one on my cruiser for the past 6 years and I have always used the Pathblazer model.

I had one I bought here on the forum. Used it for awhile and people do notice you but I did observe that it seems to cause cagers to fixate on the light kind of like a bug zapper! and occasionally on coming traffic would flash their high beams at me. Mine stopped working a month ago and I havent replaced it yet and I dont know if I will. Give it a try see how it works out for you, I have the high beam trigger so I pretty much just use that now. waytogo

I despise them.. and find them very distracting. 

Friend of mine had one on his bike and we required him to take the lead, we didn't want to see that in our mirrors.
