i discovered something in the past couple of years that really improves the headlights on just about anything. E-code headlights. they're designed for europe, and are claimed to put out 400% more light. this figure is optomistic, but they sure are much stronger and brighter and focussed than the stock headlights. i installed a 7" in my harley streetglide and am going to install a pair of 5 3/4" housings in my rocket 3 classic. i say housing because it's just the replacing of the poorly designed reflector and lens. hella and cibie both make e-code headlights. for those of us who ride on the right side of the road, you must specify when ordering. you'll get ones made for the german/france market as they ride on the right side of the road. for those in australia or great britain who drive on the wrong side of the road, the headlight housings are focussed differently. what you get is the glass lens with attached metal reflector, very similar to what our triumphs have, but with far better optics. for example when changing my single 7" harley headlight, it made a huge difference. i'll explain. what the e-code headlights do is focus the beam down your lane rather than splashing it all over the place like our stock headlights. no light to illuminate overhead signs, nothing toward the oncoming traffic, and a bit to the right to illuminate the critters at night. no need for any high tech pubic zirtonium headlight h4 bulbs. the high performance 60/55 watt sylvania/osrams or similar work great. susquehanna motorsports is where i ordered mine and i'll install them next week in my steel stock chrome housings. i expect great results. they're a really great upgrade and the improvement is astounding. pm me if anyone needs more information. google susquehanna motorsports for more info.
