Sabre I know I have asked you before about the brightness of led over stock and they look brighter in the video for sure but sometimes they appear brighter because the color is whiter. So at night if there is a big difference in the "amount" of light on the road?
LED Headlights and non-LED Modulator Update

+1... I have the same question. Are they really brighter at night or just more white?

Now will someone post a video (or even just a snapshot) from the saddle showing the illumination of the road ahead at night comparing stock with LEDs?

I'll see if I can do something tonight with both bikes.

I installed a Kriss modulator about 4 years ago for H4s. Can the Kriss handle a LED or does the modulator have to be replaced? If so it would probably be cheaper to mount aux lights.No, you are not wrong! You can't use LEDs on a non-LED modulator! That said, we don't have any highbeam/lowbeam restrictions like that when Lane Splitting here (many riders have their High beams on even at night when Lane Splitting) and as I've said before, most people aren't paying attention to the fact that they are more flashing than modulating, they are just moving over so I can clear them better!
I'll be happy too when SDC makes their LED modulator.
I have been on the same SDC list for nearly 2 years. Every now and then I shoot them an email to see how it is going. They have not answered last couple. I would like to support them,,, but their lack of support is disheartening,,, Cat'
I'm happy that companies are making/have made LED compatible modulators but my preference is using an incandescent type with LEDs.
I haven't ordered one yet. There's a lot of stuff I have to install before buying any more stuff to sit on the shelf.
But I really like the look of SuperSabre's LEDs and modulator.

Agreed, but I just keep using my "regular" modulator with my LED headlights to no issue with local coops it seems. I really don't think most pay attention to them.
