High w/modulator. Seems some folks are blinded, hypnotized or aggrivated to road rage over the mod. The positive is, no matter what their state of mind, they SEE YOU! I don't ever want to be laying bleeding in the middle of the road again hearing "but officer, I didn't see him"!

They have different styles for different bikes, including those with dual headlights like yours. They are also very responsive if you send them a question.

RE: Headlights
Jeez, you lot are priceless. If you think you can rely on high beam to make sure they see you, you're wrong. Very, very wrong.
Firstly, what happens if you look at a bright light? You look away or shut your eyes..
Secondly, if you DO look at a bright light, there is a 'halo' effect around it which effectively masks a silhouette of bike & rider, meaning the looker simply disregards the light,
Thirdly, this halo masks your direction indicators.
It's not how dazzling the light is that makes them see you, but the bigger picture of bike & rider behind it. Make them pay more attention by moving around in your lane, making eye contact at junctions, adding arm signals when necessary, and generally RIDING BETTER.
Never ever ride on high beam in daylight, PLEEEEEASE.
Phew. Soapbox away now..

high beam during daylight hours. if you look at the bike with high beam on during the day you don't get the hallow effect only happens at night because your eyes have to adjust to the bright light, during the day it is barely noticeable although the modulator is a better option because it looks as if you are flashing your lights.
