All a 'modulator' will do is prevent your brake working properly- don't waste your money. A good front brake should be able to lift the rear wheel. You just need to work on your braking technique. Over-the-bars crashes can happen if you're used to using your rear brake, and then just grab the front in an emergency. The most effective stop will be by using the front brake alone, just short of lifting the rear wheel.
