Unlike my Road Glide the Sportster headlight is 1960s safe. Don't go too fast on country backroads and you'll be fine.
Except... It is the 21st century and we can do a bit better than that.
The standard headlight is made by Hella and must have been designed by the office junior.
The pattern is poor on both dip and mainbeam. Fitting a brighter bulb didn't help much.
OK, new headlight needed then, but what?
Titter ye not, but I fitted a genuwine Lucas 5 and 3/4 inch headlight and it is far superior to the Hella!
Drags the lights nicely into the 1970s so cruising at 60mph on a country road at night is perfectly safe.
OK at speeds beyond that too...
