I have a headlight with only low beam working and was wondering if theres any place to get the original head light or if i have to get the retainer from mike's and use a modern bulb. This thing has what appears to be a 7 inch koito bulb with weird brackets that hold it in the bucket. Not trying to be a cheapskate but just like that most of my bike is o.e. parts other than the master cylinder and tires.

You should be able to use any 7" sealed beam light.
I replaced mine with a Sylvania H6024 Halogen 40/60 watt that I bought at Walmart.
