On actual dark country roads I had to ride with one hand so I could cover the speedometer with the other as the glare from it was overpowering what little light I had on the road.
High beam, ehh. Was aimed too high to help. Not big on using high beam in any case. I lowered the aim after I got back but didn't go back out to test it. Doesn't matter, low beam is too dim no matter where it's aimed.

I remember someone saying they had found a decent replacement bulb but couldn't find exactly which. Someone else recall right off?


Also I seem to having some engine surging at steady throttle cruise. Cutting back actually, like tapping the brake. I guess that means I am NOT done tweaking the carb.

I put in an AUXITO 9003/H4 LED bulb from Amazon. Twice as bright as the original. Actually useable at night. I was contemplating putting in a whole new housing, but the bulb does the trick for now. For some reason the high beam and low beam are switched around though, high beam switch turns the low beam on for me.
