Will 80 watt bulbs be ok for main beam?

Several things spring to mind.

Is the existing wiring man enough for the job?
Is the existing relay man enough for the job?
Will the extra heat generated melt the silver reflectors, or the plastic lenses?
If you need to increase the wattage of your main beam, is your eyesight ok? Standard bulbs in the main beams are usually bright enough without having to upgrade. Dipped beams however.....

The wiring, headlamps etc will all cope fine

But they are not road legal

Would the higher wattage lamps effect the lampcheck????

[Critch]

No they work fine

[Dai69]

HIDs would be far better, and most probably brighter.
