Do like trip and put LEDs on your helmet. HID kits aren't that expensive, and i'm sure someone makes one for your bike.

Mine is only low beam also. Cost 120. I just wired up both of my headlights to high beam, then adjusted the lights to where they shine fucking far without blinding anyone.

That's why they fixed that prob on the 1125's.
Though I still want to get HID's.

Sadly, they were even worse before the recall.

I can fix that problem for you. I'm getting ready to sell my '83, and you know most of the specs, if you can remember that far back. PM me if you are interested.

There's a couple on BadWeb for sale right now. Dirt cheap. The Firebolt headlights are seriously the worst of ALL FUCKING TIME.
