Ottomatics

Is there any special reason for mounting one of each light (the Krista and the Erica) as opposed to mounting a matched pair?

Very interested in this. Have been looking at Erika's myself ever since I installed the Harley LED Fog Lights, they just were not was I looking for.

I need something to light the turns at night. The light cut off on the Headlights and LED Fog Lights just don't cut it. Hammz/Ottomatics keep us informed on that please.

And now with my new interest in LD Riding, I find myself in the middle of the desert during the middle of the night frequently.

I kind of thinking it would be neat if you could replace the two spot lights on either side of the headlight with Erika's so that I could still keep some aesthetics.

and Ottomatics, why did you put two different lights on instead of a matching pair? (edit) Never mind, I found my answer... it's due to the light pattern on the two different lights.

Additionally, Ottomatics, what did you use to mount them to your crash bars?

When I was staying the night in Durango last year, someone with the same bike as me was parked right next to me, so I gave it a look over. They removed the passing lamps and installed Clearwater lights in their place. It wasn't as aesthetically pleasing as the stock passing lamps, but I bet they worked very well.

Clearwater has all the various mounts for their lights & you select what you need/want when you order them.

These are the only aftermarket fog/driving lights I'd run on a Streetglide:
1.)Best looking option:https://voodoobikeworks.com/shop-onl...s-chin-spoiler



2.)Second best:https://www.ciriususa.com/

You should also consider a better headlight. JW speaker has a series that is reactive to turns. Model 8790. These are literally the manufacturer of Harley's Day Maker

Installed the HD Fogs, got them from a friend, a little more light up front.

WTF?
VooDoo might be "pretty" but I wanted function.

Cirro is, as you stated "second best," right behind Clearwater. I actually use Cirro's Bag Blades in the back.

With my Daymakers & Clearwaters together, the 8790 is just wasted $$$.

I put those (H-D LED Fog Lights) on my bike when they came out. Big waste of $$$ for me.

Ran them one season & then replaced them with Clearwaters.

They (H-D LED Fogs) are sitting in a box in my garage (only because I have a hard time throwing that much money in the trash). Glad you got them from a friend instead of buying at retail.
