and the second two pictures

If so do you mind if I mod it to say that by each pic?

That is correct! All my comments were put together, above the pictures.
Please go ahead and adjust the comments, thank you!

I will take more pictures tonight on the same spot that I did with stock headlight to get a better comparison.

OK new pictures, but still not on the same spot that I was with the halogen, sorry. A bit closer though.

ooo that's a lot. Probably not worth it for me at this point but maybe in the future I can find a used one or one off a totaled bike or something.

I have the Cyclops headlight bulb in my CB. I like the whiter illumination and the beam projection much better than the halogen OEM bulb. Installation did take a little surgery to the rubber boot to accommodate the Cyclops but it's still there. Getting the assembly in the bucket was a bit of challenge but not impossible.

I was planning to upgrade mine with the 2017 CB1100 LED headlight, but after contacting Mr. Takashi (Samurider), he said that they will be about 100,000 Yen ($900) and he is not sure yet if they are a direct fit to older models.
I ordered this one instead:

I should receive it this weekend and then I will post pictures and impressions.

I posted several pictures on this same thread.
They work great and I liked the looks as well.

After my failed attempt to go to the CB1100 Rally in Arkansas, I am seriously considering selling my CB.
I rented a Harley on Saturday while on a business trip to Florida and didn't feel any pain on my back.
Yesterday I got to ride my CB once again since my attempted trip to Arkansas and I felt a little bit of pain and even my hands got numb very fast (short ride).
It's my secondary motorcycle and I bought it because I always liked the Honda CB line (my older brother had one back in the 80's and I had a CB500 in 2007).
I would have to make a few changes in order to keep it (handlebar, riser and seat) that would eventually change the original design for which I purchased it in the first place.
That being said, I may uninstall the LED headlight and sell it.

I tried the ADVmonster LED's in the CB1100 and a DR650. Much better then stock. Visibility at night much improved. But I really bought this for "see me" in the daylight hours, I've learned to not ride at a night - anywhere.

Also installed a LED driving light on the CB1100 - HUGE improvement.

Every vehicle I own now has LED aftermarket lights... factory lights are very poor it seems these days.

RE: Easy Headlight Upgrade to LED - Jim21680_imp - 06-22-2017

Night, what are you referring to as the "driving light"? Are these mounted on the forks?
