Default HD Daymaker Reflector

I've been looking at new options for my headlight and think the Daymaker reflector meets my needs, except it's not available in 5 3/4 lol. Anyone have any inside knowledge as to when or if Harley is going to offer it? If not then I guess I'll be looking into HID or staying stock with the super bright halogen light. I've heard the original Daybreaker sucks in the turns.

Check truck-lite. They may have a 5.75" version.

From the H-D parts catalog .pdf on their website, these are the newer 7-lense design that's got better peripheral lighting:

67700144B 5-3/4" Headlamp – Chrome

67700145 5-3/4" Headlamp – Black

(edit)hmm, I think I should point out that this isn't the Daymaker Reflector headlight (like the one offered only in 7"), just an improved model of the original Daymaker

They reflector Daymaker is a superb unit - I fitted LEDs front and back (not the auxillaries yet) and the difference is huge! Absolutely hands-down no question the best money I've ever spent on the bike.

Make sure you aim them properly - it's easy to do and the instructions are in the kit.

Cool, didn't notice the redesign. Anyone have any hands on experience with this light? Pros & Cons?

Did you have the non-reflector version beforehand? I'm struggling to find a direct comparison anywhere.
