headlight bulb question

[TLRam1]

Has anyone tried one of these??? I think you would get the same improvement at the VTX Cyclops but not effect the windshield as much..

I would like to.. But..
1) I went out last night on some dark roads.. The new Bulb has a different pattern of light than my previous bulb.. It has a rectangular pattern of light.. But has much improved my night vision.
(see pictures below) Low beam - High Beam - Reflection on street with wheel turned.

2) The Tranny went out in our only car/pool pump needs to be rebuilt.. Headlight money will go to these two expenses..

It looks bright from the photos and you put Seafoam in the spotlight, now we all can SEA   foam.    Hope nothing was in your trash can, guess it doesn't matter, it's not in there now.

hay no seafoam in the last picture thats not right.

I thought the rule was at least one picture had to have SeaFoam.. I had 2 out of 3...

[Jerry G Turner]

I thought the rule was all pictures had to have a can of seaform in them somewhere

That would make it too easy to find..  I was easy on you..

Does it ever snow there?  I thought the entire Persian Gulf region was pretty much hot and humid all year long.  Like really hot and really humid...

Does anyone in Iran know what snow is, even?

will the vtx bucket mount to the existing headlight stay bracket??

The reflector in the VTX unit is MUCH better than that of the stock Magna unit.  It alone makes a HUGE difference and if you install the fancy expensive bulb it is even better. 

Yes, it will but the speedometer cable will rub. Also, it puts a lot of tension on the throttle cables at right full lock.

Even so, it makes an enormous difference in usable light output because, as Greg said, the reflector is far superior to the stock unit. Before I swapped out the stock headlight assembly, I felt like I was trying to navigate at night by laser pointer and I thought I needed to install auxiliary lights, but the VTX assembly lights up the world nicely. In my experience, you would see a bigger improvement in illumination with the stock bulb and the VTX reflector than with the H4 bulb and the stock reflector. I have tried it both ways. The stock reflector is only good for throwing away. The only reason I keep mine is in case I ever lose my marbles and put the bikini fairing back on mine, I will need to revert to using the stock bucket.

The speed o cable will rub/hit the VTX bucket a bit..
I am working on a mounting kit that will be a simple bolt on to eliminate this. 

Line forms here, fellers!
