I've been using these for years in all 3 of my bikes. They seem to last forever, and throw a hell of a lot of light down the road.

Default Better than stock

I ditched the cheap stock Harley 5 3/4 lens on my Deuce with a super sharp Cibie lens made out of crystal. http://www.talbotco.com/e-code_lamps.htm

It is throws a clearer pattern and after eight years still has not melted the lens from the 100/90 watt halogen bulbs I run in it. http://www.jpcycles.com/product/3100401

Talk about LIGHT!!!

I run the high beam all day as a running light and the bulbs last three or four thousand miles or more on average.

Definitely better than stock and much safer seeing and being seen. Plus I can easily find room to carry a couple spares and a screwdriver to open the headlamp when I take week long rides and want a spare...
