What alternate dimension are you in today seiko? ;)
Naked or fared all bikes suffer and suffered the same corner lighting problem.
The headlight always has and had to be pointed down somewhat to not affect oncoming vehicles, which always meant it was pointed the wrong way around corners.
I always had to use high-beam, which is always pointed higher, to improve night-vision on corners.

A device that keeps the light 'down' on the straight and (kind of) brings it back up in the corner is a great idea.
Would've been better if they'd have adapted more of the car technology though and actually moved the light itself I think.
If you have no fear, you're not going fast enough.
Never argue with an idiot. He'll drag you down to his level, then beat you with experience.
