Help in choosing headlight please?
Posted: Mon Sep 09, 2013 6:17 pm
I may have listed this in the wrong section in Discussions so have moved it here, my question is to ask what the best option is for a headlight/lamp on one of my Z-ST rebuilds as I seem to remember a thread saying Stanleys were not very good but I cannot find it on the search function.
With winter heading here I want to make sure I light up the road as best I can.
I have 2 headlights on my shelf:
One is marked Stanley 001-1970 on the glass and the other is marked Halogen Series 286 E11 on the glass but its shell is marked Stanley 001-0799.
It appears to have some sort of mastic /silicon seal on the glass to the chrome rim.
Is either one better than the other or either more sought after ? I am trying to decide which one to use on the projects and have just seen one on ebay that looks in better nick .

Or actually, while I am here is there a better light available now or one from another bike that would fit well and illuminate my world a little better?
