Best headlights for 1100gs

[laughing gas]

Whats the best headlights for the 1100GS? At the moment I've got the twin headlight conversion, but I've managed to crack both of them.
Has anyone tried the DE projector headlights?
Can you buy Xenon headlights for the 1100?
Any info much appreciated

me too i cracked mine too... it happened while doing the watery bits in Donegal i think the plastic lens didn't like the shock of being hit with freezing cold water

I am considering trying to change mine for a pair of high/dip spot lights (if such a thing exists), sort of like the bates lights they use on streetfighter's but more in keeping with the GS theme. Just got to find a suitable dipping spot light and do some measuring.

Thanks Mike. Still got the original headlight, but would like some thing a bit brighter

Tuned - cracked both of mine riding through flooded roads. Cold water on the twin headlights doesnt do them any good

Nasty - post a pic when you've done the mod

I hve got the Desierto I Conversion, which sports the DE-Headlights.
Looks good, but no major improvement IMO.
Its Ok for me as up here the midnight sun is up during bike season anyway.

I had a high wattage (80/120) h4 in my standard 1100 headlight unit until the dip blew
now the proud owner of a standard wattage but white light h4 from motorworks, which throws a blue sort of light and seems/feels better than before
PLUS
a 20w LED type sidelight...which I now use as a running light!

the lights are, of course, crap compared to the majority of modern era motorbikes....so a supllementary set of halogens on a migsel bar helps me to see the hedge just before hitting it!

I've had a Wonderlick headlight on the bike for a couple of years, I think it may be a different unit from the touratit unit in that the headlight surround is made from carbon fibre and the lenses are glass or appear to be made from glass. I have standard H bulbs fitted 2x55 watt bulbs.
