Messed around with my headlight again, now on a 5 3/4” one. Having tried 3 options, here are some pros/cons:
OEM:
+ very good looks
+ easily adjustable
+ no messing with connections
- Very low intensity, potentially dangerous low beam at night
7” bucket, Morimoto Super7
+ Excellent intensity and beam pattern (mled 2.0 even better)
+ Can replace internals if broken
- Tight fit with led driver, cable cutting
- Relatively messy adjustment
- Allien looks, not matching the rest of the bike
5 3/4” bucket, reflector, led H4 bulb
+ Smaller bucket fits nice and looks very nice imho
+ Beam pattern is good, with some experimenting - osram ledriving H4 was not so good, Philips Ultinon Pro9000 is near perfect. Intensity is pretty adequate
- Relatively messy adjustment
- Bulbs not road legal in some countries
