Two best upgrades I've made.

Yeh but no other f*cker on the road gives a sh*t about motorcyclists so why should i care about other road users shorely being a pain in the a*se with bright lights and making sure road users and cage drivers know that a motorcyclist is behind them or on the other side of the road is better than being through a lorrys windscreen or lying dead in a ditch???

Perhaps it is more a question of riders vision then? In which case if peoples vision is that poor, then maybe they should not be driving at night!

My visions 20 / 20 thanks

Maybe, "adjust your headlamp aim" would be more appropriate than an outright ban

Ever so slightly blase or what? I have never had a problem with driving my car on dipped headlights. However, my K1 on dipped is not good at all. I don't think it's rider's night vision problem at all. Maybe the twin heads of the S are better? I seem to recall a whole bunch of people on here going for xenon light because the standard lights where not that 'brilliant'.

A properly adjusted headlamp should not dazzle anyone when it is on dip - except maybe appearing over a hill.

+ 1, that may be what the problem is with your Xenon's fitted.

And if I am riding in front of you being dazzled by your badly adjusted lights?

Two wrongs dont make a right (although 3 lefts do)

Get it fixed and stop being a selfish pratt.

Either that or get off the road before you cause an accident.

You are also breaking the law - see here about the requirements to get through an MOT with regards to headlight aim

Once again, stop being stroppy, grow up and get it fixed

You,d have to be airborne to get through my windscreen mate but its preferable to trying to get through a cummins diesel I suppose

I wondered when it was going start getting personal.

It's not a personal attack on sv_rider1990, I personally am feed up of having to fold the mirrors in whenever someone with incorrectly positioned lights is behind me!!!
