Ive read about the daymaker conversion and it looks very nice....andnuve seen posts where people have to re-wire/upgrade wiring...

Im keeping my bike as stock as possible AND dont want to spend $$$ or damage existing wiring....so can I drop in a $40 Amazon 7in led headlight like on my Yamaha cruisers? Is there a "bulb only" replacement that is noticably bettwr than stock 26 year old bulv (i.e. Silverstar)?

Thanks for any input

A Silverstar regular bulb not the Ultra as it has a very short life. A slight adjustment up works wonders. 3 bikes /70,000 mile on my 1st. one. A Back Off brake light modulator on the rear completes my lighting beyond stock. I traveled late night for 10 yrs. and never failed seeing "tasty's" down the road 1/2 mi. ahead.
