I'll see how far into winter I get before the headlights bother me. :rolleyes
If you've done the standard mod, you'll need to adjust the righthand reflector down or you'll be blinding oncoming traffic. The right hand reflector is set for high beam you need to lower it and by doing so you'll lose an amount of high beam range.
The best way is to fit up rated bulbs something like Phillps extreme or race, next level is LEDs in both or HID in the low beam, both of which aren't strictly road legal and could well fail an MOT, depends on the tester, police tend not to bother providing they're adjusted correctly. That said if you get pulled for doing something daft or spot check they could do you, same with end cans, number plates etc.
Sadly the only real mistake Yamaha did with the FZS 600 Mk1 or boxeye was crap headlights :rolleyes
