Headlight upgrade

As mentioned previously, you can install a modern H4 bulb in the stock housing. A great way to increase light on the road that's legal, cheap, and easy.

If you are not going to go LEDs (which I did via the trucklite modification into a new bucket)

Then I could recommend the SilverStar H4 -- very bright and white - slightly less life as it burns so bright - but a decent tradeoff in my opinion

Wow, there is so much good information about headlights here. I did not know you could get a reflector and led bulb kit to fit the 7 inch buckets . I am using a 7 inch shin yo universal bucket with a high end H4 bulb, since I do a lot of night riding through twisty mountain passes, I could always us more light . I would like to add some information. Headlight brackets can be changed without moving the forks if you use headlight brackets with the pivot style clamps , you just have to cut the oem brackets off. This setup make front end maintenance easier since the oem brackets are a PIA. I was in a similar situation as the opp as I just finished overhauling the forks before I bought the brackets.
