Slmjim, appreciate the request for information, otherwise I might have never looked. The H4 housing/shell is labeled CPI. It has a Fresnel type pattern in a semi triangle shape extending from the center logo towards the right (left from drivers orientation). It is marked Motorcycle also as you mentioned.

. That pie-shaped portion is left-side beam cutoff.
We've upgraded all our Z1's to that CPI H4 halogen headlight assy. over the years & saved working sealed beam headlights for shows if desired or box-stock necessity (looking at you, Barber). The CPI's work fine with standard 60/55W H4 bulbs when aimed right, and H4's are ubiquitous, very robust & cheap. The original Stanley sealed beam units that were OEM on Z1's, that also still have both filaments working seem to be made of increasingly-expensive unobtanium these days.
Good Ridin'

Yep, that's it. Thanks for the response. And, when we wrote 'right' we meant the other right...Slmjim, appreciate the request for information, otherwise I might have never looked.
