Hey folks,
Just thought I'd update here. Full of trepidation, I purchased the headlight from ebay. I opted for the 'rush" shipping. It arrived in 5 days.
The rings are chromed steel, look nice. The tabs are slightly "chintzy" feeling. However, it fit perfectly into my bucket. I had to move around some of the wiring bundles in there, as it's approx. 1/2" deeper than a stock sealed beam. The lens itself is plastic, as is the reflector. I won't be putting a 100 watt "squirrel burner" in there - I'm afraid it might melt! However, it's really light, and HP to weight ratio is always in the back of my mind
What a drastic improvement for night riding! With the sealed beam I could barely see 75 feet down the road while riding home from work at 11PM. This projects much clearer light waayyyy farther.
I left the 55/60W bulb in, at 3K rpm on high beam battery voltage is at 13.6. Low beam at idle 13.2. Also running a Dyna S, Dyna Coils, installed a solid state reg/rectifier from a Honda Magna.
