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.

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