Hmm, there is one, uhh, glaring ( he he, I said glaring, in a headlight thread) point to make. A sealed beam is cool, but, it's hard to haul a spare & IF it dies, well, it's the only eyeball ya have. If I was gonna mod something & I used the light much, I might consider sticking a light on I could fix on the side of the road. I dunno if its a big enough deal to worry about, but, just tossed it out, food for thought. I can haul one of those little halogen lightbulbs in lots of little places. I suppose a guy wouls need a trouble light to work on the headlight. Maybe we need support vehicles following us?
Now, someone should ask me when was the last time I had a headlight go out. Man, been years. I cant remember seeing a full sized headlamp out on a bike, but I have seen some on crotch rockets, the little ones on each side of the fairing, I see one side out a lot, maybe its supposed to be that way? So, which way suits ya? I dont know what I will do, I havent got mine yet.
