Nick,
how's that boiler coming along anyway? You got the motor back in the frame yet?
As to the original question, if you're looking for the off road style number plate style, you're never gona get great lighting from them. We had a knock off on my buddies bike that he upgraded to 50w bulbs. With both bulbs running you were lucky to see 20ft in front of you on a well lit road.
If you actually want to see, go for something with a glass lens and a reflector enclosure. Putting a mask over it is easy enough after the fact. I'm in the middle of making a custom one that uses a factory Suzuki lens that we are tinting and putting HID projectors behind. It still throws a great amount of light and when it's off looks like it's painted to matched the bike.
If you want something small and don't need bodywork around it. Grab you a Dominator or a Wave. Both put out awesome light. I ran the wave on my daily riden fighter for 3 years and loved it. The wave is the same light that is used in the Showyo Moto masks above.
