I don't know if they sell those bulbs in the UK as I mentioned, but I have had my Duck go through safety inspections here with no problem at all. I mentioned reliablility, but I forgot that I also put a similar bulb in an enduro bike (DT200 Yamadog) and it lasted forever despite frequent off road adventures with the light on. Also, my Isuzu was usually driven off-road with the lights on for visibility (to oncoming crazies) and those bulbs lasted through 10 years of some fairly crazy stuff. On other thing I did for visibility in daylight was put some small halogen lights in the openings below the headlight in the front fairing, with a lightable switch mounted in the plastic to the right of the tach. Small draw, but very visible. They still work, but I am thinking of putting some long and thin LED's in there instead. Easy to mount as well.
