Default Headlights

I saw this discussion in another part of the Forum and thought I'd see what the folks in the Dyna group thought of it.Riding on a bright sunny day with good weather, do you ride with low beam or high beam?

High beam? Interesting. I never even thought to do that. Good idea though.

Definitely NOT Jim Beam.

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"!

High beam, but I wish you would have included a selection for use of a modulator. I ride with high beam and a modulator on my SB

I voted low beam, but never realized the "....officer I didn't see him" angle. It will be high beam from now on. And yet I learn something new,again from this place. This Forum rocks!!


Besides, it's not like the extra lumens will be contributing to uncle al's global warming....
