Hard to see

[guzzi3]

Does anyone, besides me, find that people in cages pull out in front off them more on the Hyper than say another bike?? My leg hit a blue haired ladys bumper last year. Do you think that with the bike having a small frontal area that people can't see the Hyper as well??

Actually I've had more people pull out in front of me in the RV pulling a trailer for a total of 73" long by 9' wide and 12'6" high with headlights on.

I had a headlight modulator on my VRod. I do think it gets attention as no one pulled out on me in two years. I did hear a story about some old lady pulling out on a guy with one because she thought he was flashing her to go! Its also annoying to the guys in front of you if your riding in a group. For now I just ride with my high beam on untilI can figure out an aux light setup I like.

Those modulators drive me crazy when they are behind me in the cage... They are really distracting!

Yes, when on the Hyper it seems the cars are less attentive.
I put it down to the zippy nature of the beast and the way it is ridden. Any break in the traffic is quickly taken advantage of, because you can. Cars don't expect anyone to have filled a space that was empty only a second before when they last looked.

I'm with Anthony - I hate the modulators. Distracting and actually makes it harder for me to just speed and distance of the bike.
