I have been running one of his headlights for about a year now. One of the best upgrades I have on my bike. I cant out drive it at night.
Hey David,
I asked him several questions saturday and and one more on sunday and he answered in about 2 minutes flat.  So then I told him I wnated to give him money, (paypal) and what I wanted to order, and I haven't heard from him since!  What's up with that!  Hah!   :o  He must take off on Mon and Tuesday eh?   

Which light did you get.  I'm ordering the 7" cibie with the 75/65 Osram...   Is that what you got?

I sent him an email and told him what bike I had. Guess a couple of days went by and I got an email back on the cost and where to mail the check to. About 7 days later I got the head lamp and one extra bulb I had ordered.

Here is a look at night with high beam and motolights on both. A stock dresser is behind me.

Gents,
I'm trying to summarize in my mind  :drink:  the consensus here about a good bulb(s) replacement for the headlight on my new CUSE3.  A lot of information on various bulbs and kits but I'm not quite sure what the 1-3 possible options (the last option being to do nothing).  My headlight beam (on low beam) sucks for lack of better word to describe it.  I dont mind spending money for a good replacement but from reading this thread I'm not quite sure which bulb works on my bike or where to order it from.  I assume the consensus is to go HID?  Thanks for help.  Cheers.

I am happy with the HD HID, even though it is only the low beam portion of it that is HID.  The low beam is bright, wide and does not seem to flare too much for oncoming cars.  The HID remains lit even when you turn on high beams - you simply have a HID low beam lit along with a quartz high beam.  The two colors together makes the bike very noticeable.  It made a huge difference in being able to see and to be seen, especially at night or in the fog.
