Does any know if you can wire the 2 head lights so when on high beam both can be on at the same time. When back on low you go back to only one. Thanks

Chuck,
There is somewhere on here that has a writeup, I can't find it right now. On my home computer I have the write up. If you can't find it through a search and I will send you the info when I get home tonight. It is a great mod to do, I'm glad I did it to mine. Now all I have to do is the HID upgrade...

We're testing a device that will give both headlights on both high and low. High beam is subtly modulated to reduce the light output when running on low.

while you are at it, check your headlight ground wire and put a stainless star washer on it where it contacts the frame and some grease...

Its very simple to make both headlights come on. This solution will let you run just the low beam when you want low and both when you want high. As everyone here knows, the headlights on Buells leave a little to be desired.
Remove the fly screen and find the white plug assembly that connects the headlight assembly to the wiring harness. Disconnect. There are four wires going in. One the headlight side pull out the middle two wires and switch their positions. That's it. I have been running both headlights for a year now, always on high and not burned out either bulb.
good luck.
