Okay, I have been thinking about getting a twin headlight assembly and mounting it to the Zook.

Is this likely to cause any problems with the charging system? I know the stator will only support so much voltage. If I'm running two regular lights, can I have both burning at, say, 35w for low beams and both at 55w for high beams without it drawing too much current and in effect draining my battery? That's pretty bright light for a motorcycle, granted, but most cars are putting out that much light so it shouldn't really annoy drivers meeting me on the highway.

The alternate idea is to run one light for low beam, two for high-- Euro-style.

Thoughts?

i changed my head light bulb to one of those super brite,same wattage lot whiter light ,added 2 small 20 watt hallogen marker lights..low beam draw =95watts
no problems..
note:i installed a switch in the lower section of the left cover off a fused lead from the battery thru a relay stuck under the seat and wired the coil of the relay to the low beam (white i think)lead of the head lamp...
this   ensures lights kick off during starting(no light sw on my 06) and no aux lights on with high beam(keeps jonny law happy)...

How about two 35W low beam, and one single 60W high beam? If the quality of the light assembly is good, you will rarely need TWO high beams.
Also, how about a triple light setup, as in,
oOo
or better still
range;">ooOorange;">o
where the sidelights are35W and the center one is 60W.
If you do your wiring properly, you can actually have the 35x2=70W switch off as you switch on the 60W high beam,
OR
stay on when you flash.

hmm so 2 55watt high beams would be 9 amps.  Ouch

The lights I'm looking at (see link in above post) are 55w lights. This is why I ask about the high wattage figure.

I'm very bad with electrical stuff and understanding it all, so your patience and explanations are appreciated.

Didn't I see someone here running a bright yellow Savage with twin lights on the front? I think they were big round lights, too. Like the 5" regular m/c lights...anyone?

Banger,

That yellow twin light savage was mine.  Those 'Dominator' lights look just like the kind I got from Custom Chrome (I loved the look of them) but they SUCKED so much juice together it was killing my battery.  

I also want to mention that just one of those lights would not light up enough to be worth it - could have been me - I'm not that great with electrical side of things but I believe it to be the quality of the lights.

I since went with two 35w lights on at the same time (when my bike was running) and although I didn't care for the look as much, looking 'good' versus seeing and being seen, you know which will win out.

I agree. 35W lights are very good daytime driving lights, but they're nowhere near a single 55W light (single) when it comes to night driving.

That's why I suggested the 35W twin setup, and the bigger headlight in the middle.

With the right kind of switch/relay, you can actually have the three positions for daytime, night low, night high beam. And leave the itty bitty parking light for... parking.
