And I thought the $340 I spent for my DayMaker was steep??? Can't see $800 for a headlight.

honestly... i ended up looking at a bmw k1600gtl and wondering why we pay so much for these harleys and don't get even 1/2 of the stuff bmw puts on their stock bikes. the adaptive leds have been on the bmw k1600gtl since 2011.

i don't think i could stand to look at a k1600gtl very long... ; however, compare the value of a 2013 bmw k1600gtl to a 2013 dyna at the same price...

just fugly though

Fugly indeed, however in the right hands none of us will see it for very long - the darned things are FAST!

I've owned BMWs for almost as long as I've owned Harleys and agree that we get a rum deal compared with them, lights and suspension especially.
