    Hello . My project bike has the 7" round OEM headlight. Any suggestions for an equal or better headlight?

    If it’s an H4 bulb then just don’t ride fast in the dark

    Many of the new LED's on line are good. I have changed out a few this yr and so far like most of them. You will have to carefully read the description and make sure it fits the bikes light bucket. Fitting the LED in there with the heat fins can be interesting. Depending on how much room you have inside the light bucket once the light is there.

    The good news is most LED lights pull less watts from your system so you should not have to worry about the charging system.

    On the Harley bikes I changed out, had to make sure the bottom of the replacement LED had the flat bottom sport on it.

    Once you figure out what one to get then you will be golden. The change in lighting and added security of those lights at night is wonderful. I am a huge advocate of putting better and more lights on my bikes. I not only don't trust most vehicle drivers, I want them to be almost irritated with my lights so I know that they see me.

    On my Nomad, I put LED high watts for those little running lights. Removed them from the running light ckt and added a relay to have them trigger with my high beam. Huge difference.

    The rear I now have both yellow running light and red running lights. Those same lights pull double duty as brake (red) and the other turn signals.
