    I got on the bike tonight, started it up and no headlights. The hi beams work fine and everything electrical works fine. Seems odd that both low beams would burn out at the same time. It's a 2007 RWB, seems kinda early for the bulbs to go. Any known issues regarding headlight failure out there? Didn't find anything with a search.

    After poking around some, it turns out that both bulbs did burn out at the same time. What a pain to get that left side rubber boot back on.

    There may have been a voltage spike (maybe rectifier/regulator issue) that caused the bulbs to suddenly blow out, rarely do both bulbs burn out at the same time. If it does it again, id check those first.
