I use a Candle Power unit. It is a reflector unit that fits a 7 inch headlight bucket and uses an H-4 halogen bulb.
I like it.
The reflector is designed to project more of the light ahead, not so much to the side. It also has on low beam a spot up and to the right. Lights up the side of the road so you can see people and animals on the road side.
I'll post pics.

I got mine at the local independent motorcycle/snowmobile everything parts and accessory store.
I have also seen them in the Dennis Kirk catalog

I bought mine at the local Harley dealer, haven't seen one there since.
I've seen them at J&P. You can probably find them on Ebay, as well as at many online catalogs, like Dennis Kirk, Drag Specialties.
You might just Google Candlepower Headlights and find many places that sell them.
One thing, the extra draw of this headlight will find any weak spots in your lighting circuit. Things like dirty switches and connections. It will also find weak spots in your charging system, again dirty switches and connections. I would recommend going through both systems and ensuring every things right.
