Have you installed a headlight modulator (and with or w/o solid state relay)?

Good afternoon,

I am considering installing a headlight modulator on my CB. The question I pose to the forum is whether to also include a solid state relay along with the modulator. I unfortunately don't know enough about the technical aspects of our bike to figure out if the bike already has a solid state relay associated with the headlight. Does anyone know if our CB1100 already has this equipment?

I am considering the Comagination Visipath. The [url=http://www.comagination.com/modulator.htm]first is with NO solid state relay. The second is [url=http://www.comagination.com/relay-kit-headlight-modulator.htm]with a solid state relay.

For those of you who may be new to the world of headlight modulators, they are devices that will cause your headlight to blink rapidly during the day only, thus increasing your visibility while riding. They are legal in every state. Here is a useful [url=http://www.webbikeworld.com/Reviewed-motorcycle-products/comagination/visipath/visipath.htm]review about these safety devices. Cost for a modulator only is $69.90. Combination modulator and relay is $149.90.

Why consider the solid state relay? Installing the modulator alone on some bikes may cause total brightness level to dim. In those instances, headlight modulator companies suggest installing a solid state relay to your bike's wiring to prevent this.

Thank you.
