The new Riderwarehouse catalog lists one that I believe has a long enough cable it can be made to work. Jim Hyman wrote:

Dana: Go buy a #9003 (HB2) in any auto/discount store. This is a direct replacement 55/60 watt bulb for the OEM (H4) bulb in your bike. I'm not sure that a #9006 will fit. Thanks. Bob Kaub

Thanks yall, I just ordered the Sigma Sport from rider warehouse for $23. It should be here by the end of next week. Along with other goodies. I'll let yall know how it turns out. If it is like the Velo 2 I have on my mnt bike, it will be another cool little gizmo for my KLR. MotorMark
