    Has anyone faced this issue ?
    I guess pics could be helpful, no idea though.

              this is a common problem. The light was designed to let airplanes know that there is a benelli riding some where on the road

                    LOL.. That is strange. Must be the problem of the reflector housing. How is Benelli not addressing such silly issues? Im worried, I always look into fine details of such things.

                    BTB, How is the throw with the stock bulb? adequate for highways? Any idea what bulb(brand & model) have they fit as stock?

                        I stay in Indiranagar. But mine is Black. I have seen another black one around here. No sure who it is though. So green is a new one added to that list now.

                        I never really checked the low beam scatter but yes it goes high up also, probably due to the dome shape of the head light. Did not like the stock bulbs (Philips) so changed to Osram Night-breaker Unlimited. Now it is good ... When on highways in night riding I'm using a zip tie on my flash switch and use high beam and low beam together. Does a decent job for cruising at 100 + speeds.

                        Also changed the pilot lamps to white LEDs from Osrams. I use it as DRLs

                        incase someone is interested ... the headlight bulbs are H7 Type and using the same wattage 55/55

                          Shashank, my bike also has this strip of light seen. Found it one night near a signal besides a heavy smoke emitting bus...seen as if a flag pole is kept on your front fenders... well never had any problem because of it...

                          Also i have gone in for the PPF of my tank. Spend @5k but take my word its a very skillful job to get the curves fixed.. Abhijit said that he has only 3 joints but i have 4-5 joints at various location. Though its not seen but when dirt gets collected in between the crease, it looks as if you got a scratch.

                          Also as for the sliders, i don't know why few of us were charged for installation of sliders, i was not charged. I installed them on my first service.

                          Did my second service and here's my bill for study... they gave a sling bag to compensate the high price of service when i mentioned that its just 1.5k in Bangalore and Mumbai.

                            There is no clarity on actual service and spare rates with DSK. We should push for the SVCs to display the servce charges and labour cost of various jobs, I have seen them across most SVCs of four wheelers and two wheelers alike.

                              I wonder what else they do apart from changing engine oil and oil filter? May be chain slack adjustment?

                              Three things mentioned in the above bill can be done by DIY I guess. Why should one bother to take it to the SVC for that? Please advise on the portions that I'm missing during service.
