Great Product - Ease of installation - Excellent fit-up
I may be getting too deep in my rabbit hole of vintage bikes. I expected the change-out to take a full afternoon, or two days. It did take about a half hour to remove the old bulb - been through that before, then it took about a minute and a half to install the new bulb/housing in the ring and install back on the bike (with the clips). The high beam seems brighter than the old one. Damon and the rest of the HVC team - I appreciate your efforts helping all of us keep these old bikes on the road!

Replacement headlight
Fit snug after some adjustment of the not included clips. I have the Vape CDI that HVCycles sells and still no problem with wire bundle in headlight bucket. Only thing that might be better is if you linked a video of old head light removal. Thank you.

Installed
I finished installing the headlight yesterday. Delivery was quiet fast and well packed. I changed the wires to match the color code of my RD350. The clips I bought with it, worked really well, the lamp is well secured in the rim. I had some issues with fitting the lamp in the lamp housing. The socket is somewhat longer than the original one so I had to rearrange the wires in the headlight. In the end it worked with some fiddling. I am really happy with the solution in the end. To see well and even more important, Being seen on the road is very important and the lamp is a real upgrade. PS I have the Vape electronic ignition with 100W alternator installed so I can keep the high power lamp. Thanks HVC Ivo
