Curious about BikeLites dual light system. Will this give me 2 lo beam and 2 high beam. Will this draw to much power or are there any other negatives to that sytem?????????????????

If your planning on installing it on an RR (either 600 or 1000) forget it. The headlamp reflectors weren''''t designed for a dual-filament bulb, they were designed for a single filament. The way the headlamp reflects the light is what makes it a low/high beam.......not the brightness of the bulb. Pull a couple feet up to a wall and you can see for yourself. The lowbeam is flat and wide. The highbeam is more concentrated into a smaller area.........even though they are using the exact same bulb.

Could you put a low beam reflector on the high beam side?

I hope there is a high beam on the market better than stock, I bought a new 06 and it has the worst lights of any of my last 3 or 4 bikes.

No doubt they are horrible. You only have 2 55 watt bulbs when the high is on, and only one of them aims higher... it sucks for sure. I did change mine over to silvania''s ultra bulbs and they do make a difference. Its nowhere near like my firends 05 R1... but is an improvement.
