The original reflector does not take an H4 bulb. You will have to contact Paul Goff for one of his LED's that suit the original reflector.

The 5k Lumin LED looks good. Seems like a PIA to order from England. I wonder if there is a supplier in North America? I have a sealed beam LED on my 75 now but the pattern is not that good and the high beam failed riding home from the White Mts. last year. They replaced it but I have no confidence in it anymore.

I have ordered from Paul before (shipped to Canada), was not painful at all.
Walridge Motors may carry his stuff as well - maybe someone can confirm, but I believe I read that some where.
Or you can go the Amazon route: get a DZG bulb, and a H4 reflector.

That's what I did along with the Reflector and harness.
As far as I can tell against the back wall of my garage, it is an awesome setup.

Just because something is sold on eBay, that doesn't mean it is poor quality. You have to do some home work.
Although I can't really tell the quality of the LED, the reflector looks top notch and definitely throws a good beam pattern.

Not sure what Paul is selling now, but there are newer style bulbs with a shield over the LED to improve the beam pattern. Have not tried them in a round style lens, but they work great in my FJR. Nice sharp low beam cutoff.
Eventually I will try them in my Commando, also not sure if they are polarity sensitive. Since I have relays it won't matter to me, but might be an issue to someone else.

Plenty of variants on these newer bulbs.
Just figured I'd muddy the waters a little more for you Dan. ; )
BTW beautiful part of the country you live it.

If you don't mind the look this is what I use in my 1978 Gold Wing

On the other hand, if it did come with an H4, the lens will be 56 years old and will probably have gone milky.
In that case the link Derek provided in another thread will get you a nice new lens and h4 type reflector housing for not much $.

Led
Varies with the moon phase, I trawled through all the listings and bought the one with the highest lumens. Seemed to work.

Well, the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars, so I had to order the bulbs from Paul Goff. Will post a light pattern if I can post photos here.

I will be using this to make sure I have enouth power for my 29 watt base layer. Riding back from the INOA Rally in Virginia, a few years ago, we started our last day in Pittsfield MA, heading to the coast on the Mohawk Trail, about 150 miles. It was the middle of July and the tempreture was 52 degrees and I was wearing my Vanson perforated/vented leather jacket. 52 degrees at 65 mph, not good. We had to stop and buy heavy gloves and stuff newspapers under our jackets. The base layer heated shirt has shrunk a bit since then. I am running with the Boyer Micro Digital ignition.
