I am also curious to hear what headlight modifications you might have made to improve safety.

The poll is missing some options .... during the day I run high-beam for visibility and during the night I run high-beam when no other traffic.


I installed HID headlights ...

I'm like Bill. I use highbeams all the time except at night with traffic. I may get new bulbs one day for better results. I remember when I had my Majesty and was impressed with the headlights. I think they had the best lights of any bike I have ever owned.

Hi All,
During the day and at night I run my low beams. When I need more light in front of me I hit the brights. When I need more light then that on some of these back roads here in Oklahoma, I'll hit the switch for my high mounted, daylight (killer) spot lights which really do a great job of lighting the road up in front of my scooter. It's good....and I do try to be curtus to others at night and just maybe they will be curtus to me in return.

Honda-Silver I agree. I run with mine on high during the day. When I started riding with the group in Richmond, IN is when I started doing that. They used to go over safely rules before a ride and always mentioned to put your headlight on high beam during the day. On my Helix I also had a stobe put on. I don't ride at night much but use my high's unless there is an on-coming car and then I always dim them even though it is hard to see.

I agree with the high beam on all the daytime and at nite with no traffic, when, naturally, I go to dim.

It sounds like I am like some of you guys. I usually have my high beams on. The exception is at night if I encounter oncoming traffic or pull up behind someone.

Is there a way to update the options on the poll ... so I can vote properly??

I would suggest adding something to the effect of ...

"Daytime: High-Beams - Nightime: High-Beams only without oncoming or behind vehicles"

Bill,

The author would have to change the poll question. I agree that a few more choices are needed for a more accurate poll.

Skiwoods,

Is it possible to add a couple more choices? Thanks.

I give up. I have tried editing the poll and cannot figure it out. Jeff, any direction?

Gene,

You should be able to edit your poll question by doing this:

1) Log in
2) Go to your first post, when you added the poll, and hit the "edit" button.
3) When the next menu comes up that allows you to edit, you just need to scroll down to , "Add a Poll". Your poll questions will come up.
4) You will see the "Add Option" after your initial choices. Just add the new qestions/choices there.
5) Hit send.

You may want to go to the bottom of the page where you add options and hit the "Allow vote cancellations". If you don't do this we won't be able to change our votes, for those that want to change their vote.

If this doesn't work I can go in and add the additional choices if you would like. Thanks for putting this poll question out there.

When I have gone to edit mode on my first post, there is no choice for "add a poll" to edit.

Gene,

I went in and added a 4th choice. I will look in the system to see if I didn't give members permission to change their own poll question. It might be defaulted that way until I change it. Thanks.

All,

Whoever voted can now go in and cancel your vote if you would like to change your vote. Thanks.

I use my high beam during the day and at night when there is no traffic.

I also added driving lights. I use those at night and during the day if it is raining or is very dark and overcast.

I also have a Kisan modulator on my high beam for during the day.

I want to be seen and I want to see what is in front of me on a dark road.
