Well 100/90's are what I have... I was running 100/130's a few years ago. Yes that 130 on the low beam... scorching... Anyway my fuse was prone to blowing, and then the bulb itself... nothing else was affected... I will keep and eye on the wiring etc... but my plug to the bulb is partially broken... not from the heat off the bulb, but from a crash... So I will keep an eye on it anyway on the other bikes where I use them too...
Cool.

The only one so far that is right on is yamahonkawazuki.  

You don't need more light.  Maybe in some instances you might at some real dark dark night, but then you should just ride slower.  I've often been blinded too by these lights.  I have no tint on my rear glass in my truck.  These lights are f'n annoying.  I have a better time knowing that these are being put on single headlight motorcycles.  But when they are thrown on cages, I can't stand them.

And to jiggersplat. . .  NO ONE EVER F'N aligns their headlights properly.  Yeah, it might make all the difference for other drivers -- but no one ever friggin cares to do the extra effort.  Your number one responsibility on the road is to make the road safe for other drivers.  By blinding them, you are not doing as such.
What I remember from the lowsiding?  Ground sky ground sky ground sky ground sky ground sky sky

Yea I have been unable to line up my headlight with the adjuster screw... My virago was also not working, I am going to have to unscrew the light assy and fit a few washers in the bolt in the back so it tips more forward. The adjustment screw does nothing... and my light is being wasted by lighting up the trees as I ride by.. My truch OTOH is perfectly aligned the way I want it... just to the right of straight ahead and down toward the road ~ 2-300 feet in front - near perfect. The bikes need that sorta aligning too.
Cool.
