New headlight lens cover :(

So that being said, anyone use the 8700 evo 2? Are there any adaptors required or is it just a direct fit?

Drop @cr0ft a note - he has the EVO2 iirc.

Thanks for the feedback. Dealer wants $237 for a new lens! Wow. So at the moment the option I'm leaning towards is the JW Speaker 8700 Evo 2. $300 on amazon. Reviews are positive. The adaptive looks freekin cool but a bit too much $. The Adjure is a good option but the thin glass lens might be an issue. We always have little rocks on the road here.

I read the same reviews, but bought it anyway. It's be on the bike for 10,000 miles since August 2015.
A few rocks put chips in the front fender and windshield, but the light is still unbroken.
All 3 Adjure lens were unbroken after my crash last October!
I'd give it a 5 star rating if I was reviewer. Guess I'm too lazy.

Good info and certainly at a better price as well. Going to decide in the next day or so. Hate looking at my headlight with that nasty scar on it.

If you want to stay stock? I can send you my stock headlight.

Thanks much for the offer. However I went with the Vision X assembly. Local speed shop had them so I'll give it a try. Hopefully it lives up to the reviews.

Hey all. Just a couple of pics of the installed headlight. Simple to install. Not a 100% fit but I'd say a 98% fit. The 4 little springs are just a wee bit more snug but still aligns the light well enough. Happy with the light output and i think I'm more visible now too.
