Headlights
I did a search and saw the headlight mod for a 600 is it going to be the same for the 1000? Is there any other mods that you can do to have both lights on low beam? The relflector is different is there a bulb that you can buy or is there some kind of mod that can be done to the reflector. Any ideas?

RE: Headlights
For a 600 not a 1000. I'm looking for any mod for the 1000. Search headlightsand there is a thread on a mod for a 600. Anyone know if there are any headlight covers like they have for cars? I've seen some covers available on european bikes but they cover the whole light and would be of racing use only. Having some headlight coverslike the ones they have for cars would be cool. Havesolid instead of tinted and have holes where ever you want for the light to come out.

THERE IS NOT A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HIGH BEAM AND LOW BEAM EXCEPT FOR BEAM ADJUSTMENT!!!!!!!!!!
They are the EXACT same bulb (H7). They are both the SAME brightness. The only difference is the "low-beam" is aimed low and the "high-beam" is aimed higher. THAT'S IT! If you want them both on at the same time without blinding anyone, lower the beam on the high-beam.
DO NOT wire in resitors to adjust the power load of the bulb. (it'll eventually destroy your harness)
DO NOT change the bulb type (the headlights ARE NOT designed for anything other than H7 bulbs - different bulb types will also melt your harness).
The only thing you need to do is just find the adjustment screw (right above the headlight bulb) and turn it to adjust the heighth of the beam. I parked my bike in front of my garage, and lowered the high beam to the same level as the low beam. WORKS GREAT!

FALSE !
The reflectors for each side are different , the low-beam cast a different pattern than the high-beam.
Other than that , all that you said was true.
