Jason,
The oem light bar is the cat's meow. Friar will have a custom light bar bracket on the market soon. Mounting driving lights using the lower triple tree holes is another option. JCWhitney has a light bar too. Yes night riding sucks with the oem headlight. I too am not keen on expensive aftermarket bulbs blowing in terms of months. The oem bar I move between bikes is using the oem 35 watt bulbs too. That bar lights up the night (and Greg's mirrors).
Needless to say keep er slow at night whether you can see 50 yards in front of you or not. Critter country demands it.
