IIRC There is a brown wire in the headlamp bucket that you can use for running lights up front.

I am running Motolights on my GS650E, I like the way that they work and the quality but they are not cheep. I bought them when I had my BMW and removed them before I sold the bike. Not sure I would have spent that much on lights to put on a bike I bought for $500.
I tried using them with the halogen bulbs but the Suzuki charging system had a hard time keeping up so I installed the optional LED bulbs.
I have had people comment on how much more visible I am, after following one friend on the way to work he had me install a set on his Honda Nighthawk.
I live in a very rural area with no street lights and think the lights do a great job lighting up the road low and wide in front of me. Because they are low I leave them on all the time and don't have to dim them for oncoming traffic.
When I had them on the BMW I had PIAA 510s wired to my high beams and when they were on you could still see the difference the Motolights made lighting up the lower part of the road.
