Is your headlight bulb replaceable, or is it a sealed beam type requiring an adapter kit?
If the bulb is an H-4 type, be careful in not overheating the headlight housing, possibly melting the wiring inside. Also would the charging system support a brighter headlight?

I run the halogen 7" sealed beam type. About 3X as bright as stock, costs about $10 - $15.

Here's what I use. I've tried a number of brands / types on my KZ650 and the Wagner halogen has lasted the longest for me.
