I actually just bought one. I got the 8022 lamp from Candlepower Inc and a 45/45 watt high-efficiency bulb. I was going to get a 35/35 but decided to try the other one.
About it: It's nice. Bolts right on. I managed to fit it onto my old headlamp ring even though the previous owner had bent it to fit a 6" car headlamp into it. There's a small 1/4 inch gap between the front of the new lamp housing and the headlamp ring because the halogen lamp is flat, not curved. Some people have used foam tape to seal the gap with good results.. The lens adjuster will still work though the captive nut doesn't seem to be as captive as it was. I've had trouble aiming the lamp down far enough, but I think that's a separate issue. Maybe not, but fixable. A Cibie would probably be a little nicer, but this is pretty inexpensive. The bulbs it takes are the standard H4 format.
Purchase info: (NOTE: He doesn't answer the other number much, here's a direct line. I think. 416-766-2327)

Hey folks,
After reading Fred's post about Halogen headlights, I got in
contact
with Candle Power and asked them if they still made the H4 conversion
that Fred had used. It appears they do and better still, they make a
"12 Volt, 35/35 Watt bulb for bikes equipped with
low-capacity generators and batteries."
What do you guys think? See below.

Our 8022 round motorcycle headlamp has a nominal lens diameter of 6
3/8", or 162mm. It is equipped with a patented multi-bracket that
enables it to fit and work correctly in place of a great many original
headlamps (both sealed beam and replaceable bulb type) found primarily
on Japanese-made 350s and 400s of the late 1960s through 1980s.
The 8022 lamp is $35.95 without bulb.
