It's this:
https://motodemic.com/shop/jw-speaker-7-...-adaptive/

The brackets come with the Dart Flyscreen for the 2017+ CB1100 Models. These brackets need to be longer in order to get the flyscreen fitted. So Dart supplies their own (longer) brackets, which are of superb quality and at least as good as the originals. It looks like laser-cut stainless steel. Very strong quality.

To fit the JW Speaker unit, a new and sufficiently large headlight bucket was needed. When I started this modification in around 09/2019, Motodemic still offered the steel made black bucket in 7" size, and I ordered it. It could be of Triumph origin, but I cannot guarantee that. Heavy duty quality bucket, that is for sure. Looks 100% like those on Triumph bikes...

However, right now, in their Motodemic webshop I can find 5 3/4" Buckets only.

I have described the mod in this forum earlier. Wire-wise it was a medium headache at least, as Honda uses a very "unusual" 8-pin-plug for their LED headlight. That had to be figured out and happened to work only with the help of special adapters solution eventually. For me as a complete non-electric a real adventure and I had to learn and understand a lot. For those who are familiar eit elctricity, it should be easy, or at least easier.

So far, the headlight-mod has proven very, very good and dependable. Very nice bright light indeed, on both wet and dry roads. It really puts its lumens on the road, yet not blinding the uncoming traffic. I really like it so much, even after 18 months of using it. Nightrides have become so much safer. Every ride, a real "high-light" Cool

And the look - I like it myself, too.
