Trust me here - the improvement is staggering compared to stock (even with an EB).
If/when you get caught having to ride at night, as I frequently have, you shall thank yourself for the improved safety and consider the money VERY WELL spent!

Everything fits, no cutting of cables etc? In other words a straight swap? That would be brilliant.

For 5.75 inchers I'd definitely go with the Haymaker... umm Daymaker. For my 7-inch R3T headlight though I'm going with Truck-lite Phase 7. I think the "dream setup" would be one Phase 7, two JW Speaker 4.5 inch fog lights and a pair of Clearwater Darlas on the engine bars, that all adds up to a metric ****ton of lumens.

An easy Plug N' Play, and yes BRILLIANT is the correct word usage!

FWIW - Headlight(s) (all styles and types) on motorcycles across the board do an extremely piss poor job of illuminating objects in the roadway. Current testing to date has shown the discernible distances really suck when compared to any car. Low beam = 160 feet v. 70 feet!!! At a distance of only 70 feet, in an area with no measureable ambient light, you will likely not have time to perceive and respond to an object from speeds of 25 to 30 mph!

My new spendy International Light NIST certified meter now sits on my desk taking up space in the hope I shall soon get my @ss out to the field for some MC headlight testing.
Been kept way too busy with work and all play time has gone into riding. Now that the season here is near its end, I hope to set up a grid in a proper location and get started.
Starting with my Daymakers and a buddy's stock Ultra, my intentions are to real world test MC headlights regarding the human ability to discern objects in the roadway - NOT merely photos or videos of lights shinning out into space and subjective opinions (like what I have given you so far) heh heh heh. Perhaps once set up, I can get some other types from manufacturers or interested riders to test for comparisons.

Hmm. I should. Price these daymakers here in OZ just so I can frighten myself

Just priced them up here in the UK over 800GBP for a pair slightly cheaper if imported from US but then there's import duty, VAT etc

When I bought my JW Speakers they were $800 AUD EACH here in Auss I got one of our awesome US mates to purchase them for me and send over, cost me $950 for the PAIR plus about $80 postage including insurance, I could not buy directly from overseas so if you want them I would suggest you look at contacting one of our US mates. The daymakers which are actually a better fit may be cheaper in Auss thru a HD dealer

Amazon.com has the 7" trucklites on sale for $175. these ones fit the R3T.http://www.amazon.com/Truck-Lite-27...d=1412640706&sr=1-1&keywords=truck+lite+7+led

 

[Mittzy]

Well....
Surprised I am.
Got a price on the JW Speakers @ $1400 inc Tax for a pair
Just got off the phone form HD Dealer for the daymakers (using Bulls Part Numbers) original price was $515.69 each, Said would do a deal at $920 for the pair inc Tax
