New Headlight Bulb

I too, thought the stock headlight was good and white. But I came to the CB1100 after owning CBs from 1978 and 1981, so I was used to headlights that seemed a bit yellowish and not as bright.

Your replacement bulb certainly looks to be an improvement over stock. Probably similar to the Sylvania Silverstar Ultras I add to all my cars. But I go a different route on the bikes. Its been my experience that a single headlight, no matter the brightness, confuses a lot of the brain dead drivers out there and they can't process that a motorcycle is approaching, but think it's a car with a headlight out. Since you want to be noticed by other motorists, I always felt that adding a couple of driving lights to the bike makes you more visible, more recognizable as a motorcycle, and also adds more light down the road.
