Arrow Anyone using engine guard mounted driving lights?
I'm looking to add a pair of driving lights to the engine guards on my Super Glide.

The 3 sets I'm currently thinking about are

Harley's engine guard mounted lights
http://*******.com/y9a7pfe

Kuryakan's Silver Bullets
http://www.customdynamics.com/driving_lights.htm

Or PIAA 2100
http://www.piaa.com/Lamps/Lamp-pages/2100.html

I'd be grateful for any feedback on any of these lights or alternate suggestions.

Thanks!

Not a Dyna here but I've been running the Harley ones for 4 years now with no problems. Pics on the pic and link below.

Thanks, Primo!

How effective are those Harley lights? I can't find any real info on them...

They put out a pretty fair amount of light but more importantly they really increase your visibility to other vehicles on the road around you.

Thanks, again, Primo!

A couple of us got caught riding late at night through a two lane road deep in a Colorado
canyon with only stock lighting and the experience is not one I care to repeat.

I've read a couple very mixed reviews on both the PIAA and Kuryakan lights' reliability
so I'm grateful to get some feedback on the HD lights.

Mike

The Harley lights give you a lil bit of distance and a good wide range
