Custom Dynamics!! !st picture low beam and turn signal, 2nd picture high and low beam in running lights mode!
Not for nothing, but you DO realize the thread is a question about Road Glide headlights, correct?
Anyway, my buddy just put that Namz/Pazamo headlight on his '19 RG Special. Haven't seen it operating in the dark yet, but it seems pretty bright on his garage wall; especially in high beam. But it is NOT adjustable up/down like the stock light. Also, Namz' version has the wiring all terminated and the proper connectors installed, so it's truly plug and play. Watch the connection to the turn signal lights though: it's a single lead running behind the lamp up to the vent mount, then it splits left and right: I didn't see any directional indicators on the harnesses, and we had the signals wired to the wrong side of the bike 1st try. At least swapping the connections was simple- there's plenty of harness. Namz also gives you a 2 year (I think that's what I was told) warranty, where Pazamo (out of Vietnam) will give you 90 days.
I personally swear by Rogue Rider Industries. Im running their Blazemaker on my SGS and it lights up shoulder to shoulder on a normal two lane road surprisingly well.

There aren't many options for the new Sharknose in the headlight department. Custom Dynamics' TruBEAM seems to be the most common alternative to stock, and their light has been on the market for a couple years at least. Then you have the headlight sourced from Vietnam (sold by a couple online places: this one called "Eagle Lights", and this one from Pazoma Racing. Namz also sells a version of that: they call it "The Sharktooth" (one benefit: they fully terminate the wiring to make it truly plug and play). Namz has one other option on their site, they call it the "Double Barrel".
Most of the options you'll find aside from the TruBEAM are variants of the two that Namz sells- and usually from oddly named sellers on Amazon or Alibaba.
Either way, there's not many options that I've seen being used. I think my buddy is the only Road Glide owner I know who's swapped out the stock Daymakers on his Glide...and he did so mostly because he was "bored". As far as I know, he hasn't yet ridden in full dark conditions, so he hasn't got a verdict on how that "Sharktooth" works compared to the Daymakers. Though I will say the built-in turn signals work well, and the colors are a good match to the CD dynamic signal inserts he has on the front.

Sum bitch I didn't even realize they didn't make a headlight for the 14+ models.
Has one tried one of these? I am curious about the performance, how wide is the beam etc?
I recently did an Iron Butt and had a chance to test the light. I cant compare it to the Custom Dynamics, but I can tell you its definitely better than OEM. The beam is wider and longer, bright lights are much better. Im happy with this set up.
In India, roads are not so good, and users are absolute idiots.People run across a 6 lane highway and you are expected to panic brake. All the truckers drive with theirhigh beams and in "Godzilla" mode (might is right and size does matter). So lighting is very important. I use a set of Baja XL80s mounted on my crash bar for auxillary lighting. I have mounted yellow lens covers as a protection and for visibility in fog and rain. My issue is a dark patch in the middle, and I hope to address that with a LED Headlamp.
May I request suggestions. Looks like the choice is between Hogworkz and Eagle. I have used JW Speaker 7 inch on my Fatboy and not very impressed, so will probably stay away from the TruBeams of Custom Dynamics.
right at the end of the video there is a brief display of the actual beam. The only drawback I see in this is that it is IP67 rated. This one from LED Mart https://www.ledfactorymart.com/colle...lide-2015-2020 is IP68 rated. IP68 is higher rated in waterproofing and you will have to take a call whether this will matter in rain conditions for you.
