I’ve tried high output 90 watt halogens as well as expensive LED bulbs (evitek f2, evitek e1, advmonster r2, and advmonster native). They all suck in the scr. The reflector in the scr950 is absolutely terrible. For one of my other bikes I’ve put on a 5 3/4 daymaker clone made by Sunpie. Holy ****, LED projectors work so much better than a LED h4 in a reflector housing - even in a good reflector housing. I’ve been running led h4s in bikes with good reflectors and have been happy, but that $30 led projector (and $25 headlight bucket) was a game changer. I have three h4 leds on my scr950, and the single daymaker clone is a far better pattern and far brighter.
I guess it makes sense, because it has a heat sink 10 times as big and much larger CREE LEDs.
Anyhow, up until now, the only LED projector solution for a stock headlight bucket was the Denali conversion kit... for $430. For that cost, it’s a far better option to buy a headlight bucket and the daymaker clone and deal with having a non-stock bucket attached with ears. I hadn’t done that yet because side mount headlights won’t work with OEM windshields or flyscreens.
But recently that’s all changed. This has come on the market. It’s the Denali style setup, but from China and at a reasonable price:

The bulb is different than the Denali, but the bracket looks the same. It mounts in place of the oem reflector, and becomes push-to-aim instead of using the screws. Even with paying $20 for the expideted DHL shipping, it’s less than a quarter the price of the Denali.
I just ordered one and will post back when I install it!
