Default Denali Destroyer vs Shark Demon

I’ve got a 23 Road Glide in desperate need of an upgraded head light. I’m looking at either the Denali Destroyer and Custom Dynamics Shark Demon. Anyone have any thoughts on either one?

Okay I thought so.

Here is my opinion:

If you are comfortable running in the "Destroyer" mode (non-DOT), then hands down I vote for the Denali.

I am running the Destroyer on my SGS and it is impressive in Destroyer mode.

I run the Baja LP 6 conversion on my RG from A10 Moto. If the Denali had been available I would have given it a very serious look over the Baja.

As for looks I lean toward the Denali also.

I've been wanting to pick up a destroyer to put on my bike, but 500 for a led light is stupid.

Shoot the adaptive LED headlights some of us in rural areas have to run cost more than that.

Just installed Denali Destroyers in a 23 road glide this weekend with the ECE high beams. They’ll see into next week’s thoughts. The kit is very complete and all the parts and hardware are top notch. They’re expensive but I recommend them over the Baja designs kit that’s way more $$

take a good look at the Hogworkz system, I have the Sabertooth system (one yellow, and one clear light) and absolutely love it! systems is great quality overall, DOT approved, AND a lifetime warranty
