    I have the Kisan 100HD on my '07 as well as my V-Strom. I don't care for headlight modulators but I'm a big believer in tail light modulators. Info is Here

    The module is about an inch square and is pretty generic. Three wires to connect; one to ground (I went to a ground WIRE not to the frame), and one to each side of the brake light wire (have to cut it). The module comes with a little piece of self-adhesive Velcro and is small enough to be tucked just about anywhere.

    I've got one on my Magna. It was about $35 from the dealer, took all of 10 minutes to hook into the brake light wires. They come with instructions so it's a no brainer.

    I have one on my VFR, since I got rear ended by a van three years ago. I'm still a little paranoid, but I figure the better I can be seen, the safer I am.

    I also have 50 watt halogen brake light bulbs in there. I got them at Pep-Boys.

    I put a "Back Off" module on my 86 last summer. I think it's great. I do get a lot of questions about it at stop lights, which tells me it's doing it's job and getting attention. I paid $35 for it and it took less than 30 minutes to install.
