Don't bother with just the LED replacement bulb. It's not nearly as bright or good as doing the whole LED headlamp. Been there, done that. Do it right the first time.

Thanks for posting this. I ordered the Wisamic today. I’ll post up some photos after the install as well.

For anyone that’s still shopping check out Moto Illumination. There are no blind spots with this one unlike the Daymaker style lights.

Our 5.75" ProBEAM unit would work well for you. Here's a good comparison shot of how the 7" version (which outputs the same light) stacks up against a couple of other headlights. Most LED headlights will be brighter than a stock halogen lamp, but the higher quality units will have better lens designs, such that the light is spread evenly and does not contain weird shadows or hotspots. Better lenses, such as those on our units, will also give you a much wider beam. And our headlamps have a lifetime warranty against LED failure!

We're also releasing a 5.75" adaptive headlamp soon. It projects 1500 feet down the road and also has adaptive banks of LEDs to light up corners when you're leaning the bike over.

Good Lord you guys are proud of them things! ($$$$)
Let me know when you come up with something that doesn't require me to sell my first born to pay for.

That pro beam adaptive is way too much just for a headlight, I'm surprised they sell any. I spend alot of money on my motorcycles, but that is not worth it to me.
