George, I have also used this bulb wattage over the years in various bikes.
The socket is one concern but the wiring and contacts through the high low
beam are just as important and I think a potential weak link. Ok at 85W but
prolonged use at 120W could get you into trouble. Over twice the ampera

Wow! This backs up exactly what I was saying: It may have appeared brighter on some
things, but I didn't

I want to add my two CENT'S:
I'am an ASE Certified Master Automotive Technician with 32 years in the automotive
field. Last month I diagnosised a 90 Jeep Cherokee that had a defective Hydraulic
unit.(this is not the importent part) When I called Jeep/Chrysler parts for
Availability
and Price
First of all I would like to thank Kevin H. for the directions he posted on
how to regrease the upper A-arm bearings. I didn't even have to get the
manual out until it was time to torque things back down. For people that
have not regreased their front end (upper and lower a-arm and shock mounts)
I have been using OEM but a step up from stock (85/120W) on both my bikes. Much
more light output in front of the handle bars and bulb only costs $13. Now will
the higher wattage damage the sockets? Only time will tell but my mind tells me
NOT, especially if high beam low beam is alternated freque
