I put PIAA bulbs in, they're brighter than standard. I mainly use just the main beam.

I use high all the time. I dont like the look of the single light. plus at night ive only had one vehicle flash his brights at me. So if they do that i turn them down. if not. ON all the time

If you want to be official about when motorcycles are suppose to use high beams it's on during the day and off at night...I don't think it's in a biker's best interest to blind approaching traffic with bright lights at night.

I use it every now and then when necessary, like when someone is coming into the lefthand turn lane and your the only thing i click it on so they notice a bike there and not cut me off.

Low beams during the day......until I approach a left turning driver trying to turn across my lane or someone trying to pull out onto the my lane from a side street....then I go bright. I figure the change in beams equal motion......equal grab the driver's attention more easily. Just a thought.

I use my high beam all the time unless a driver prefers otherwise cuz i too had too many people say hey man u got a headlight out..---so frustrating. Im currently working on a fix for this. Im not talkin add a light like most do or convert to HID. Im workin on a plan to have both headlights work like a car. Both on low beams then both sides on high beam. My main problem is finding a compatable dual fialment bulb with the same candle power as the stock high beam light. And then see what problem arises with the different stock reflectors, but my main thing is intensity from low to high so im thinkin if i can find a dual filament bulb i may have a solution. Ill let ya know how i come along with this cuz im sure someone else out there may be willing to do the same thing besided add another light in.
