My headlights keep burning out after only a couple thousand miles. What up with that?

I've had the NovSights for a while too, and at the cost of Sylvanias the NovSights work better, for less money, and have lasted longer.
[Dang - Just jinxed myself.]

I rarely use the high beams, because I almost never ride after dark.

Well actually in sort of a weird "shuttered" way, you are using high beams every time you ride.

Osram off-road bulbs. They're usually much brighter and seem to be very durable.

I had a H-4 halogen that was for "off road use only". Two reasons: they claimed that the filaments were heavy-duty, and it was a 55w/100w low/high beam. It was in my FJ, with an actual glass lens, and a good reflector. . . . worked wonderful. I never got in trouble because, duh, don't drive around with the high beam on.

Anyone have the same problem? Seems like I'm replacing headlamp bulbs more frequently than I should. Unless this is normal.?.

Have you checked and measured the (voltage) regulator?

Have you had the headlight wiring recall done? Solved my problem.

Hey, good point, what year is the bike?
