Rockster Headlights? FNG Question....

Just what IS the deal with the Rockster headlight arrangement? Do both lights come on in high beam mode? I won't get to see my new Rockster until probably mid December due to work travel. Just curious..... H

Shards, thanks for the reply. Now.... would you translate that into 'Merican "English"? "Dip"? Low beam?
BTW, did a season in Antarctica in '02-'03 and LOVED NZ (except driving on the wrong freakin' side of the ROAD)...
REAL sad about Christchurch...... H

As Churchill once said about the UK and the USA "Two countries separated by a common language". Large lens is low beam, small lens is high beam. Christchurch is slowly rising from the ashes but they are still having aftershocks. Let's face it, NZ is just one big (beautiful) volcano!!

Hi guys, on low beam my left hand lamp, the big one is on and on high beam, full, both lamps are on. I'm using Osram H1 NIGHTBREAKER Plus Bulbs which are great. Cheers.

I have Piaa 1100X on the forks as at my age, 61, and eyesight the Rockster lights aren't nowhere near enough, piss poor really. The PIAA lights are wonderful, you may want to consider that also.

Sorry didn't see those on your picture, yes they should help a great bit. I only meant that the normal headlights aren't that good in my opinion, but despite that issue, I love my Rockster.

I put Piaa 1100's on my K100RS in the same spot on the front calipers. They are awesome for 58 year old eyes! They make a big triangle with the headlight and people stay away from me! Run them all the time. Only challenge is the vibration seems to make the filaments go out sooner than they may have if mounted in a 'suspended' part of the bike.
They will go on my copper 2003 Rockster soon!
