I have a friend that tours and he uses a Cygolite Metro (I use the same light) and he then uses two (one on each fork) Cateye EL200's; but he uses it on steady mode. I do not use those Cateyes on the front, instead I opted for a single xenon amber flasher connected to the stem and hangs down in front of the head tube; it's made by Cateye but they don't make it anymore, but VistaLite makes a light called the White Nebula that uses 5 LED's for longer battery life and should be brighter then mine. Scan this web site down about half way to see the Vista, it's only $13:

I get a lot of attention since I added the flasher.
I forgot one thing, sounds kind of silly, but I discovered it by accident. When it rains water can and does run down the stem and throught the headset into the frame. The Cateye flasher had a rubber strip they use to protect the frame from the bracket marring the paint. I found that if I set the rubber strip and bracket hard against the headset water doesn't enter there now. Something I don't think would work with threadless design. Before I used a thing made by Snakeskin that protected the headset water entry.
I think that Cateye was what caught my attention in the flashing mode. The guy was at least a half mile away!!!
