    Will switching wires to burn both high/low beams simultaneously damage charging system?

    no. many of us have done it and if you're charging system is up to snuff it won't hurt a thing.

    It could, like with me, melt the plastic connector (housing). Other then that it wont do any harm.

    I spliced my high beam into the low so that when bike is warming up I can switch the lights off by turning it to high beam.

    Low beam side both are on. I did this mod before I had even found this site or the correct procedure.

    I've never blown a fuse or had anything to melt. Not to say that couldn't happen.

    I did it like 3 years and 20,000 miles ago.

    My son had a CityX and thought that the conversion led to that bike's stator to fail. Maybe just a coincidence...IDK. I've done the change 3 or 4 different times on 2 bikes with no ill effects. KOW!

    No problems on my '03 when I did it with stock headlights, I switched it back when I was diagnosing a problem with my HIDs.
