I guess I may have a different take of visibility. I think there so many cagers that say, "I just didn't see them." Unfortunately it more like they arent paying enough attention and or was distracted. I have always prided myself for paying a lot of attention to detail and have never had a problem seeing other vehicles whether it is a truck, car, tank, 747 or even a pedestrian. I have yet to hear anyone say they could see a particular bike better because they had brighter lights on their motorcycle. I would venture to say there probably are several riders that have gotten hit that had brighter or more lights on their scoot.
Maybe we should ask this question. How many riders feel safer because you have brighter and or more lights? I don't think I would feel safer.
Of course this is only my .02 cents worth.

Lights
You can have every light they sell but its all up to you as a two wheeler to bring your sight and brain to a level where you realize a 700lb two wheeler against a 5000+ cage will kill you. Never expect respect from cages and loud pipes help cages see you. John

Well...
Unless you bypass it, then you can have both the spots and high bean on.
I did it and can't get why they don't just come that way.
