Hi Steamer,
I concur with your assessment, I have also installed a 5 3/4" LED headlight (HD of course). I am a little disappointed, I find the low beam to be sufficient but the High beam I thought would have had a greater penetration. I have just returned from a trip over east and rode across the Nullabore section into the night, and although the LED is better than the standard light I would have to say that it is not worth the AU$400 price tag.
Cheers Paul.
