Looks like it makes a huge difference Stiv.
Where did you source the parts?

Maybe you done some more testing,
how is the cutoff, does your high or low beam blind oncoming traffic?

Sadly the bike is now not on the road as I am stripping the front end down for repairs to the forks and the engine is coming out - all to do with my trip over to Greece next June.

In pic 3 you can see a clear cutoff w halogen.
In pic 5 looks like there is no cutoff w bi-xenon, that worries me a bit.

Understand what you mean what you have though is a brighter longer beam and as it is so bright it doesn't show up so clearly as I am probably too close to the doors. I also have not spent time setting and adjusting the headlight. All I wanted to do was just show the brightness as this is the problem I find with the standard light set up.
This is an improvement.

Sadly no, the engine has come out this week and is going away to be sorted I am replacing with a like for like engine that I purchased as I know the one in the bike had a chain lock up and there is a knocking noise in 3rd gear. The aim is to hopefully make one decent engine from the two. I have a mechanic that I use who is far better than I in recognising any future problems and has all the tooling - I shall though be very "hands on" undoing and rebuilding the engine.
I am also going to make a better job of the repairs on the body panels and repainting them aswell as also getting the wheels repainted probabaly.
Back on the road hopefully for May so I can do all the test running needed before my trip to Corfu, Greece via Bolgona in July.
