This is not an endorsement but I would consider this product if I had a single headlight bike. Possibly helpful in a canyon at night.  Not cheap. 

Intelligent Motorcycle Headlight Lights The Way Around Corners And Eliminates The Rider’s Blind Spot

From Cyrilhuzeblog.com:

Standard low-beam motorcycle headlights are next to useless in dark corners, The concept of a “leaning headlight” is not completely new. But this one installs in 15 minutes in any Harley and Metric 7” headlight. As you lean your bike over. The J.W. Speaker Model 8790 Adaptive Low Beam LED headlight fires up additional angled lights to fill in the blind spot you get when you’re cornering in the dark.
The lamp will automatically activate additional LEDs and optics on either side to keep the beam pattern on the road where it is needed for leans up to 30 degrees. Over 30 degrees the light is still there, but does not increase anymore.
If you like the concept, you will have to go over the Star Wars look and accept the big price, the J.W. Speaker Model 8790 Adaptive Low Beam LED Headlight retailing from $700 to US$800. Just make a search for the cheapest online distributor. The symmetrical beam pattern is approved for DOT and ECE so pretty much legal everywhere in the world for use on a motorcycle. The lens is marked with DOT and ECE approvals to keep police officers happy.

JW Speaker is the same outfit that produces the Harlely LED headlites that cost about $500 last I knew..........So this baby will remain super high in price for sure.

You how you find a better deal or better product after you just bought something?  This is the case for me two days ago I ordered the Harley newer Chrome 5.75" LED headlight  but it was 319.
The cost of the  8790 headlight sells for 750. I bought aux led driving lights that mount to my crashbars. Alot cheaper option.

Interesting concept.  I guess if you do a lot of night riding on twisties it could be useful.
