Hoping its better than the daymaker.
JW Speaker Daymaker Version II
Ok. Installed the new lamp & harness yesterday & took a ride. I didn't make any adjustments, just re-mounted it in situ. On the way home, the width of the beam at low seemed to be better, & the width of the high-beam was noticeably wider. The BIG test was twisty road I live on. The 90 degree bend was SCARY with the OEM lamp. MUCH better. Probably added 35 - 40 feet to my vision thru the turn. The factory spec is 35" high at 16', according to the service writer at the local dealer. I will set it there & re-ride the corner after dark. If re-adjustment is needed, I will try to bring it up 1/2" at a time, until it's right for me.
Also, is there a MARKED or noticeable difference in the High Beam on this light? I have the Daymaker Reflector on my Street Glide with matching passing lamps, and my high beam only puts a hot-spot out about 20-30 feet in front of the bike; to the point that I ride with the high beam on ALL the time and never get flashed. Just wondering if there is enough difference to make me want to switch.

Harness?
I see some people talking about a harness. When I go to the website they refer to this only fitting a Jeep, is there a harness to make it work on a bike? And also they do not have any running/highway lights listed on their site, do you have to but them from someone else?

How did your adjustments work out for adding "through the turn" visibility?
