Headlight Advise

[Clute73]

Looking for site where I can purchase headlight that would have a 50/40 rating. Bike is a 1974 CB 750. If I go with a higher output light will that draw battery down. All I am finding is Halogen lights rated at 60/55. Thanks for any advise.

My K6 is 60/55 halogen. All seems fine.

LED headlights are brighter, and draw less amps than Halogen or incandescent. IMHO

I had an H4 halogen conversion on my K4 since the mid '90s. No issues w burnt switches or anything or battery drain if the electrical system is in good order.

I recently switched to a classic white Holley RetroBright LED and it's amazing. Perfectly even pattern, brighter with less draw than a halogen, and the color looks legit enough for a vintage vehicle that I'm gonna get a pair for my '51 Chevy 3100 and my '87 Dodge Power Ram.

I have coverted all my bikes to an led headlight, expensive, if you use a light certified for use in commercial trucks like the ones from Maxxima.
Ours have 5 year warranty when used in on highway tractor. they one piece with the standard 3 prong plug . high and low beam built in .
7" round for my older bikes fit like a normal old incandesent lamp .

Thanks for all input, was just able to respond. Installed a Halogen 60//55 and the decrease in draw from incandescent was great in my case. Also installed new right hand switch with option to turn headlamp on and off. Again thanks.
