LED Headlights - Daymaker - 5.75" on Rocket Roadster

[barbagris]

Excellent link, They're just down the road from me. Might get in touch with them and maybe buy me a pair. @ £215GBP each they're not cheap but a lot cheaper than the Harley ones.
Can anyone tell me whether or not these are a straight swap or is there any mods needed?

In my case it took a bit of work. I think everybody has had to fiddle something.

There are iirc 3 documented modding methods. One involves modifying the Speakers - Ponters method. Or you can move the shell brackets outside the shell - this from Jim in the USA and mine involved using deeper "frenching" rings and trimming the inner part of the new ring so it all fitted. But since then others seem to have managed with less fiddling.

215 GBS ($338 USD) is the a tad more cost than the Daymaker, which requires NO fiddling to mount.

Anyone had a chance to use the daymakers in twisties without additional lighting? I've heard the directional nature of the beam can make negotiation in canyons and heavily wooded areas a bit difficult when hitting curves.

My Daymakers do just fine at night as I don't ride nearly as fast at night, especially if caught in some twisties.

Yes but the Daymakers over here are in the region of £800GBP as opposed to under £400GBP for the JW's

Because I'm not sure I ever posted them.
