Easy Headlight Upgrade to LED
#1

If you are wishing you had an LED headlight like the new EX's, take a look at this.

https://www.cyclopsadventuresports.com/7...p_169.html

I have installed this LED to my bike and all I can say is WOW! Plug and play.
I also have these bulb replacement LED's on my Beemer too.

Twice the light than stock.

And it doesn't get much easier.

Is there enough space in the headlight bucket to get all that in the bucket?

I have the one linked below. It's decent, quite a bit more light than the standard bulb. The patter is OK, not perfect but it's not blinding to others and definitely lights up the road better than stock. I am really looking to get the LED headlight with the correct projectors that the new CBs have, though. Anyone know if those are available yet?

I'm relatively certain, as with most LED bulb replacements with reflectors made for halogens, the light scatters all over the place and doesn't really shine down the road very much. It may SEEM like there's a ton of light, but it's all over the side of the road, not down the road where you need it.

you are exactly right and that is why so many cars [ mostly kids in ricers ] have that annoying blinding light.

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.

There's something about the 2017 headlight that bothers me. I can't quite place it, but it has to do with the set of bezels and the inner LED ring. Almost makes it look like a standard lamp housing retrofitted to take a projector. Reminds me of something someone would throw together to make it work, without regard for aesthetics.

The motodemic evo 2 with the Triumph bucket was a fairly easy install and gives off great light. Then again, the individual LED projectors might not be everyone's cup of tea either.
