I've ran an automotive bulb in my XS650 for 10 years and haven't had any issues. I considered another one for my Vetter but figured I'd look into a true motorcycle lens for comparison.

I also want to find a lens that throws out the correct light pattern. I assume an automotive bulb is not ideal.

I may just go with a H4 Halogen. I need to find the right housing/lens and bulb to replaced my sealed bulb that is over 40 years old.

76 GL1000 also here in Illinois. I acquired the bike in pieces 8 years ago and fully restored her over this time. I was not a full dresser guy but decided to mount the Vindicator fairing that I had stored in my shed to extend my riding...

Hello! I have a WJ4 on a 2006 Honda VT600CD. I designed and fabricated brackets for the fairing, bags, and trunk. My other Bike is a Soviet era Dnepr MT-11 military sidecar motorcycle. I drug it out of a barn just before Thanksgiving...

Once you start riding don''t be surprised when people stop you to ask questions about your Bike. Most Bikers today have never seen Bikes fitted with a Windjammer and don't know what it is. The WJ also changes the look of the Bike it's...
