5.75 Daymaker alternatives?

[1olbull]

If that's the case & since I still pass my driver test sans glasses, I shall go with @sonny "WHO GIVES A $HIT!"

You tell me where the HD is?

Hi I got Wisamic 5.75 around 100$ works perfect for me.

The stock headlights on my Roadster are certainly adequate.

I have been looking at all the threads regarding headlight upgrades.

I love the Daymakers BUT like most people I am less than in love with the though of $400 per headlight.


I saw this in Amazon.

Amazon.com: Funlove 5.75 Inch Black Led Headlights For Triumph Rocket iii 3 & Speed Triple & Street Triple & Thunderbird: Automotive






Can anyone who has picked up any alternative daymaker copies chime in on how well the worked (or did not)

Thanks,

Hello all,

The stock headlights on my Roadster are certainly adequate. They are leagues ahead of what I had on bikes in my youth. However with new available technology I think I can do better.

Jamie,
I looked at all of the 'copies' but decided to go for the H-D Daymaker. List price was $400 ea, but got some discount. All depends what price you put on riding safe in low light conditions. They were worth the money and if any issues I go to a real person.....

I installed the "funlove" copies (Amazon $98 for the pair) last weekend. Two night rides later, one during a rain storm, and I am very happy. Are the Daymakers better? Probably, but these are just fine. Pros: the bike is more visible by a long shot. Low beam spread is better than stock. Cons: High beam doesn't have the reach of the stock halogens and there are some dark areas to the left and right (on high beam) that I don't like. Overall, I wanted to be more visible to other traffic and this was a success. It was a good investment, and I'll likely supplement the high beams with some spot aux lights.

Installation was easy, and I reused the springy internal rings from the stock lights. You don't have to, but the stock rings align the lights and make for a tighter fit. Stock screws were too short, which I addressed with some longer stainless screws.
