Looking for a motorcycle-type headlight for my Cruiser

MM, from experience since you want more light you should compare lumens on your current light vs the new one. $69 isn't cheap. If they don't measure in lumens then some other standard that might be used to compare. I've got 2 or 3 lights that looked good but were no brighter than what was replaced.

Try this one it has a lot of mounting potential

I have ridden my bike mainly at night since I got it for myself for Christmas.

The Christmas gifts that you actually really want and will still enjoy are the "From me, to me" kind of gifts...lol.

I don't have much experience in headlights but that thing is bright. From the reviews I researched the headlight was one of the most talked about features of the bike. I will have a picture up in about an hour with the light at night. This is my first "headlight" all the other lights were USB rechargeable dingledoppers ya know? I do use one of my MB rechargeable headlights as a front flasher though. My bike doesn't have a flashing headlight feature.

Here you go, four pics. Two down a little neighborhood street, each with the light adjusted differently. One in a cemetery. If you look close Wyatt Earp's grave is in there. You can't see it, it is too far back and I'm not going in there at night. Not because I'm scared of ghosts, but society's ghosts. And another down the side of some tracks.

Yep, light's up the whole lane far down the street with a focused beam just like ya want

Not Wyatt Earp... Pat Garrett. The guy that "shot" Billy the Kid.

But I think you might actually see his tombstone in the upper right of the lit up area. His whole family is buried there.

Tomorrow... when the zombies are in line at the free lunch center. But yeah I live like a block from his grave, kind of cool. I get to show all my family that comes and visits since I am a transplant here. I drive past the courthouse/jail that sentenced Billy the Kid to hang and then his gang busted him out, every day on my way to work. Lots of pretty cool history here. Nothing like back east, but for out west it is kind of cool.

The headlight on your bike and mine look similar @Wrench. I wonder if they are the same light with different skins.
