Headlights

Hey All!

I broke my headlight assembly glass. I was going to order a new assembly, however, I saw online from one place that there is a 7" sealed headlight bulb that I could install rather that buying a new glass. Before I go and buy this, has anyone replaced there's with this type of bulb? Any help is appreciated!

Original bulbs in Z1 and KZ's were Stanley Sealed beams, at least in NA.
I have several restored bikes along with a 2006 Goldwing with a sidecar. My wife has a 2019 Suzuki DR 650 for on and off road.

If you get a sealed beam, I believe there's a Halogen unit available. maybe by Wagner? see replies by 650ed.
My bike had a sealed beam, but I installed a lens unit, H4 bulb & dust cover from an 82 750H Ltd. It was a direct swap.
The H4 is much brighter and changing the bulb will be easy & cheaper and keeping a spare around is more handy.

Consider installing www.summitracing.com/parts/WAG-H6024 . I've been using this headlamp for quite a few years and have found it to be excellent. Ed
