Hi all,
i just installed new LED turning signals on my zero. As a result i noticed hyper flashing.

First this was strange and i looked for a way to get rid of the hyper flashing. Now after a first ride with the hyper flashing turning signals i noticed
that other vehicles take more care about the motorcycle. Somehow it seems that they notice it with more attention. My feeling is that this contributes to
a safer ride. Or is it just annoying for the other vehicle drivers?

What do you think about hyper flashing turn signals? Good or bad thing?

Thx for your point of view.

For reference, the wiki describes how to deal with this: http://zeromanual.com/index.php/Zero_Aftermarket#Turn_Signals

I tend to find the fast flashing to be an annoyance, but it's probably effective as long as you cancel your signals quickly.

Annoying to whom?  Other drivers?  How do you know?  Is the hyper flashing supposed to be an attention grabber?  If so, isn't that a good thing?  Slightly off topic, anybody know of a modulating head light add-on for the Zero?
