Hmmmm.... I have Hyperlites on the back of my bike that flash every time I engage the brakes.... is that irritating & distracting as well?
Couple guys I know have a super bright Whelen brake light... that must be even more irritating.

Good point, and I was only kidding anyway.Don't break the law.... follow the rules.

I did turn them OFF when riding the Dragon and similar roads (Twisted Sisters in the Texas Hill Country) since it served little purpose other than disrupting the focus of other riders when they should be focused on the ride.
I have a version of the brake light flasher as well. While it might be a bit annoying, its 3 quick flashes, then solid- just enough to catch someone's attention and say "hey, I'm stopping", then it goes solid. I think there is a lot more risk of being rear ended by cagers, and I think the brake lights are more effective than a flashing headlight. I don't ride around with my brake light constantly flashing. THAT would indeed be annoying.
I firmly believe that turning on my headlight modulator as I approach an intersection with a green light is useful.
I like that idea. Sometimes an oncoming car is preparing to make a left turn and you really don't know if they see you until you're right on top of them. I'd like to have a modulator for those situations. As it is now, I'll flash my brights on and off a few times to - hopefully - be noticed.
I have used SDC on H4's,,, and Kisan on LED's,,, as far as headlighting goes. Admore rear light bar works well at the back. CAt'anyone suggest headlight and tail light modulator brands
Anything more reasonable than the Kissan?.
've got one installed on my ST 1100. It's wired so that it only modulates the headlight if I have selected the high beam position.
What I have seen recently, which I think would be a better solution for increasing conspicuity, is a pair of bright yellow lights mounted low on the front forks. The bright yellow (like a foglight) is unusual and captures attention, and the placement of the headlight at the top middle and the two yellow lights down low on the forks creates a triangular appearance that enables oncoming drivers to judge distance and closure rate to the motorcycle.
1000+ I'm a HUGE fan of yellow lights like the old CIBIE foglight I had. I'd change all amber bulbs to yellow if I could find the bulbs. I had a pair of yellow CIBIE 35 fog lights on my GL1000 below the headlight and maybe 20+" part. Very discernible in a sea of headlights running lights turn signals.What I have seen recently, which I think would be a better solution for increasing conspicuity, is a pair of bright yellow lights mounted low on the front forks.
