Thanks for checking the screen for me, it sounds as if it will do. I do a lot of night riding and really enjoy it, especially country roads . My current bike, an '83 R80 ST BMW has recently had 2 x 20w LED spots fitted and they are wonderful! An amazing spread of light that makes country roads much safer with wandering cows and kangaroos..... and all for 20w 12v each.

On the Honda I'd mount something like this in the fairing .... these things a excellent value but cooling it might be a trick.

I have no idea if I will be able to run them on a CT110 but I hope so, even one would do. I'll have to ask one of the CT110 specialist resellers ... we have them.
OK, that's not looking very hopeful. It seems the CT110 has a very limited output and will run the 35/35 w headlight and tail light and that's about all.

A couple of options would be to set up LED spots to come on when the hi beam switch is flicked , instead of the normal hi beam bulb. That could be done with a bit of switching trickery and would give FAR better light than a miserable 35w bulb. As you can tell I've become addicted to really bright lights ! ( Call me the moth )

The other is to have the stator rewound to increase the ampage output. I'm not sure of that one and it would be expensive .
