Installed these LED headlamps on my Ryker 900.

Then installed this universal headlight modulator by Kisan that will drive both LED lamps.

It is working great, I'm a firm believer in modulators and being seen, installed them on all my bikes.
Did you have any issues with installing the LED? I tired to a different part number from same manufacture and the housing on bottom was a little too thick and didn’t allow the retaining clip to latch on.
The modulator says not compatible with the can bus system.....
Copied directly from their website: ■ DO NOT use on bikes with bulb-check system or CAN-bus monitoring.
I am using the above LED's and Kisan modulator without any problems or errors on the Ryker.Quote:

so obviously there not monitoring for malfunctioning headlights.
Used the same set up on my Goldwing and Harley that are Can Bus with no problems.
Grow Some!
Reading on their site it looks like they make one that is compatible with can-bus, just not the one linked.

How much will it cost to remedy?
Generally, I try to not make it a habit of asking for trouble. But, it's your ryde, your life and won't bother me in any way. I wish you the best of luck; you may need it.
PS: I've got a healthy set!:2thumbs:
I absolutely hate headlight modulators and think they should be illegal on anything but an Emergency Vehicle. On another note I did install a brake light modulator where it flashes the brake lights 4 times fast, 3 times slow and then solid. So far no issues. Also if you get the correct H4 LED headlight bulbs there is no trimming necessary.
Easy access to splice in the modulator.
Blue wire at this plug goes to both Hi Beam headlights.
Headlights are on a dedicated line with own fuse so no problems with Can Bus.
Its a beautiful thing, if they don't see me coming now they never will. LOL
aren’t dual bulbs supposed to alternate the modulation?Quote:

That would actually be illegal to flash or alternate hi/lo.Quote:

A photo sensor automatically turns it off at night and prevents it from modulating.

Probably why I thought it was alternating between high and low beam.
I plan to convert my 2015 RTL to LEDs and install a modulator very soon. That is, as soon as I can find the best, brightest, most reliable, least troublesome and easy to install bulbs. I want to do the headlights and fog/driving lights. I had a modulator on my 2010 Kawasaki Voyager and people definitely saw me. I think it's the best safety device you can put on a bike or trike.
:yes::yes::yes:
Where ls a good place to run the red sync wire between the two lights on a Ryker when installing the Kisan dual plug-and-play modulator?
I love mine as well. I currently have a modulator on my Goldwing but will be adding one to the Spyder over the winter when I go through my electrical list of "Things to do".Quote:

Today I install some h4 led to my ryker rally. It has a build in fan. Its so loud, it sounds the fuel pump noise. The lights looks nice but is very loud.
