A few guys in the US did this mod to their older z1000's.
Problem is that the one that does high beam aims higher and will annoy the crap out of everyone on the road.

05/06 ZX6 was the same. What's the issue anyway??? You can't see it while you ride??? :? It doesn't effect vision??? :? Won't make it go any faster either ???

Steve
I have just upgraded by headlight globes to Philips Extreme +100's on my Ninja 1000 after being caught on a late ride back from the Hunter Valley riding back down the Putty Road. The standard globes or headlight is pretty average on dark country roads. I also have thought about dual headlights both low and highbeam globes are the same at 55w, so in effect riding on high beam I think would achieve the same result.
