In Mass. if the spots are the same height as the headlight they must cancel on high beam. That said I had mine programmed to stay on..

Is this a common issue with these bikes? I was noticing last night that my headlights were not stretching far enough, even though I have the hi-beam with driving lights setup.
Thanks for the info - I'll be adjusting my headlight tonight!

I adjusted my headlight up to where it's almost high enough - but I can't get the spots up to where I want them. They point so close in that it washes out the light from the headlight but I find I'm always looking into the abyss on corners and off ramps and such. I really wish they were easier to adjust and had more adjustment to them. I may actually end up adding some Ridid LED fog lights on some kind of caliper mount or something.

Supposedly mine was the first bike that my dealer had done the high beam/ spots flash to.
At first I got a little static about the law and such....
After they did it the Sales Manager wanted to know where I had heard about it. Told him here.
He was doing his own bike and then a buddies later on.

Big improvement, but I think I would still like to adjust my spots up a little.
The info shared on this site is awesome!
