]shows that the light switch is a three position switch.
]high beam
]low beam
]Both beams

]2 position switch, but sure enough as Deam expected , when
]you balance the toggle switch in the center position both the high
]and low beams go on.
]This provides a very nice light coverage of the road.
]This is true for the St11 and the VFR750 and I would expect for any
]other late model Honda with the standard two position light switch.
]Thanks to Dean for reading the schematics, try it you'll like it.
Be a bit careful doing this; I used to balance the switch on my GS550B
avec Cibie' H4 insert so that both beams were on. I eventually fried the
main ignition switch, as it wasn't designed to pass that sort of current.
