Visibility - head light black-out area

[coffee_weasle]

on his maiden trip with a new black 2014 goldwing, my riding buddy is behind me an eighth mile,
i could NOT see his low beams.

i was used to his 2010 goldwing (with chrome accents inside of the lense covers, that surround the head lights).
i never had a problem seeing him behind me.

at the next stop sign i ask him to turn on his high-beams......major difference, incredibly visible.

at the next stop (for coffee, which i avoided paying for, lol), we decide to trade leader/follower.

he tells me exactly the same thing about my lights, .... poor visibility on low-beam, excellent on high-beam

just thought i would pass that along (i had been thinking about Hambly being pulled out in front of last month)

i now ride with high-beams 100% of the time

Interesting.
I will have to check that out.
Don't ride much at night, but need to know.

Crank em up. They are adjustable.

I need to find that adjustment, at least for the right lens. I was noticing a lack of long range vision for deer on the right side.

I always ride with my brights on during the day.

I have the Kisan Headlight modulator. Daytime it is flashing. I run it 100% of the time during the day. It had saved me more than once. I figure that the last election proved a point. 51% + of the population were dumb enough to vote they way they did. They must be too stupid to drive but do anyway.

I think you just justified my running high beams all the time.
Thank you.

A rifle for deer. "Dears" need 'special' handling.....lol
