No, I don't run the stock headlight. Mine is off a 1987 Honda CMX450C (Rebel vertical twin). My stock light snapped in half right above the bolts. Handlebar mounted toolroll bounced, well, REALLY bounced. I came tearing into the yard, locked up the brakes on the wet lawn, and hit a telephone pole sized pecan tree.

But I though the stock headlight was cheesy, so it didn't bother me very much.
If anyone wants to try thr 450 Rebel headlight, DON'T. You can't adjust them enough to not spotlight treetops on the right hand side of the road. Worked great on the Rebel, look great/works lousy on the Savage.
