I wonder if the XSR owners are satisfied with the stock H4 Philips bulb? Have you ever tried the alternative ones like led or other kind of Philips or Osram like nightbraker, X-treme vision, diamond vision etc. I'm not very happy with the stock one.

i had exactly the same feeling about the stock bulb.
replaced it with http://www.powerbulbs.com/product/philips-xtreme-vision-130-h4-twin

it is much better now

It says the link is inactive and doesn't show up.
I can't comment on the headlight/bulb really as i only ride during daylight hours, but my std bulb is so much brighter than my mates MT-07 one so they must be pretty poor on the MT....!!

thats weird,
the link works perfectly for me.

anyway, here it is: https://www.amazon.com/Philips-X-treme-Vision-Headlight-Bulbs/dp/B00QJWUPC6

Debo, was it worth it? I mean can you see the difference as it shows on advert?

 

[TheCrow]

What about replacing it with a full LED assembly ?

 

[dEbo]

its definitely better than stock bulb, worth the couple € and changing the bulb takes 3 minutes

I stumbled upon these parts for my XSR700 and they have a pretty nice LED headlight option.

I used a Motodemic Bucket in which i put a Led Headlight

Here is the result below :

Are you using the stock brackets or some other ones?

Also is the headlight unit from motodemic or somewhere else?

 

[Plazo]

I got rid of the whole (and horribles) stock brackets and I replaced it witch Highsider Brackets directly placed on the fork.
It's even possible to put custom turn signals on those brackets, what I've done.

Here is a closer view of the brackets and a pilot POV

Thanks, m8, much appreciated. Been looking for some nice looking brackets. Think ill go down a similar path with mine.

I very rarely ride at night unless I'm on the road and get stuck out before I call it a day but the headlight on the XSR is on par with most bikes out there and for me personally, the high-price stuff out there may have better optics but the cost outweighs the benefit for me.

I agree and changing lights on a motorbike, even a bulb change for a LED, needs approval (homologation) in our country, otherwise the motorbike isn't road legal.

I ride all year long, from winter to summer by night and day so I need to see and be seen perfectly.

I understand but nobody here will force you to put those pricey stuffs on your bike ;-) It's a forum, all of us here have different tastes and budgets.
I have money so for me it's a pleasure to customize my bike, but once again I force nobody to spend on their bike the same (huge) amount of money I spent on mine

The place I live in is well known to be really intolerant on this particular point but the headlight is homologated + it's most luminous from far than the stock one which is quite important in term of security so it's more than OK.

Plazo: Great look! a quick question - are you able to only have the halo ring lit up?

Hi Oskar,

Thanks m8.
Here is a picture below as an answer to your questions. Feel free to ask if you want to know more about it.

1) Bike on => Ring only
2) Engine On => Ring + Horizontal Projectors
3) High Beam => Ring + Horizontal Projectors + Vertical Projectors

I guess if you only want to have the halo on you'll have to have fun with the wiring below :
