After much digging I recently purchased a pair H4 LED headlight bulbs. I then did a headlight bulb "shootout" against my garage door as documented here:

That was just against a garage door 15 feet away so not a real world test of how they work on the road. I installed one in one of my K75Ss and took it for a ride down the coast and back to the Bay Area where I got the chance to do some actual night riding with the H4 LED. Given how crappy the headlight assembly is on K75S bikes I really wasn't expecting much but I ended up being very impressed with how well it performs. Two thumbs up! (And only $40 for two of them.)

I haven't done any night riding with one in a K1100 headlight assembly yet but given how well it did in the K75S I'm very confident that it will do well in the K1100 headlight too.

Here's the ones I originally purchased:

Those are currently unavailable but I found these that look like the same H4 but sold under a different brand:

Thanks Duck, against the garage door do they have the low beam "cut" that keeps you from blinding oncoming traffic? A friend put LEDs on his GS and they seem to blind traffic.

Yes, they seem to have done a good job with the cutoff on these H4s. It works just as it should with right side of the low beam tilting up a bit to illuminate roadside signage.

No oncoming traffic flashed me once I had it aimed correctly.
