Need to be seen better

[azulazul]

I had the headlight modulator on my 07 dyna and I felt a lot better and could see people watching me especially when they were at stop signs and turning left in front of me. I have one on order for my street glide. May not be a macho thing but you will be noticed. It only works on high beam so if I'm riding with the club I just use the low beam.
Has a sensor so it only works during daylight. Get one and be safe.

All the advice above is good - headlght modulator, high vis vests, xtra lighting, and maybe some pipe volume.

Please remember to take best advantage of any visibility aids, however, you MUST place yourself in a position to be seen. Use lane position to your advantage to stay in rearview mirrors, be seen at the earliest possible moments when approaching intersections, and be seen the quickest by oncoming vehicles that are tailgating the one in front, just waiting to pull into your lane to pass.

Place yourself mentally in drivers points of view and adjust your road position to be seen the quickest by them.

Thanks to everyone for the comments/suggestions. I am thinking that the Kisan pathblazer headlight modulator and the Motolights are in my near future.

expect to not be seen - YOU ARE INVISIBLE - pipes, horns, colors, lites - all good;
But, in the end, you have to watch out for them. They will look right at you and turn into your lane, turn in front of you, turn into you.
Happens all the time - been happening to me for 40 years . . by the grace of god, the times I went down, I wasn't hurt badly.
Keep your eyes open and stay alert.

I go just a bit farther - I assume every other vehicle is going to TRY to hit me!

[Penguins Rock!]

have to agree with that one......

How about putting some color matched reflective tape on your bike?

I had a black Night Rod last year that I wrecked because some idiot didn't see me. That's why I traded it in for a Silver Street Glide which is bigger and easier to see. I've also added driving lights, bright LEDs, tri-bar brake/turn, etc.

I too have folks pull over for me to pass. The Comagination headlight & tailight modulators really work and it's an easy install:
