Yeah its called the Hi Beam Switch and its magic both low and high beam comes on.
I'm not all that savvy with this stuff, but my friend did it accidentally to his bike, so I know it's possible.
Does anyone know how to connect both the high and low beam to the one switch?
OP, so did buy a Gen II? sold you gen I yet?

I'm wondering the same thing

I would also have a concern that the high beam switch is not rated for the combined current of low beam and high beam, and as a result, over time may burn the contacts.
I've had my low beam switch for years. There are a few reasons why I installed it: 1) to easily turn off the headlight at a track day; 2) if your battery low by any chance, turning off your headlight helps for the bike to start; 3) when riding on highways with light traffic, I turn off my headlights most of the time - to be 'visible' instead of 'blinding' other drivers, and to be less noticeable by LEO's.

I simply installed a separate switch for the low beam in the left upper panel - right above the fuse box, by splicing into the low beam circuit.
