Is the Yama dual headlight an improvement in allumination or mostly a cosmetic modification?

Read tech info on how-to here but no real input if it`s a better headlight.

I would be interested to hear of someone's opinion between the two, also. I have the FZ headlight on my second project, but it'll be quite some time before I have it hooked up to test it out. I recall reading somewhere that it is supposed to be an upgrade for lighting purposes, but compared to the headlight on my '98 ST2, the Paso's stock headlight is a LOT better than the ST2.

Pasos headlight is AWFULL in low beam !!!!

Btw, if You are not satisfied to ST2 headlight, why You dont buy DD kit to Your ST2 I am VERY satisfied to DD kit and looks REALLY COOL!

I've thought about it on several occasions but just can't bring myself to spend $600-$800 on a lighting upgrade for a bike that is only valued around $4000. This is also the main reason I don't upgrade the suspension....I just can't bring myself to spend up to half the bike's value in upgrades that will not make the bike worth more.......

With the ST2 headlight, I just don't ride much in the dark and when I do, I let my wife lead and I actually space myself behind her so that I use HER bike's headlight when looking through curves in the mountains.

I hope, that Your wife is enough fast for You with .... Anyway that DD kit is VERY GOOD !

Bump.
Noone who can tell if the FZ gives a better light?

I replaced my headlight with fz750 about 3 weeks ago (the original dipped the wrong way for New Zealand)
I never rode much at night with the old one but I could light up both side by side on a dark night and give you my opinion - have no way of measuring them
but it should give you an idea.

OK, thx!
I`ll give it a shoot then.

I don't see how it could get much worse than the standard headllight.

I had one for a brief period of time, installed with relays it's substantially better than stock. Double the wattage!

Double the wattage!

What does that mean?

2 X 55/60W H4 bulbS is doubble compared to one H4, so wattage is then X 2........ Or did i missed something?

Btw, it doesnt mean so much in 750/906, but in 907 U have to be carefull with adding more wattages, cause near all current from 907s stator comes for turning injection stuffs.....

Ooops, I even forgot it was the dual we were discussing....


Is this FZ750 better or is it just the same as the Paso:



This has 1 bulb, right?

Which brand?
It seems to me a stock Paso headlight. The FZ ones we are talking about have double bulb.
So it has to be a CEV or a Koito.
As far as I know, the Koito were fitted on few 750s and less 907s.
I have both a CEV and a Koito (on the black 907) even if I have never still rode my black 907 on the night...
No matter, the Koito are better than CEV ones.
