       I've had these in my '87 Westy for some time. . . light pattern is
still crappy.  Not much can be done

about that unless you want to spend the big bucks for a set of Euro lites.

You are propagating fallacy, here.  You're comparing 2 different headlamps,
so there is no basis for your inference.  Also, more than one person has
ditched the lame stock lamps and adapted 5 1/4 X 7 1/4 Hella's for an
astonishing improvement in lighting.  These headlamps are available for about
$80 from Susquehanna Motorsports.
