LED Harley
So I searched but found nothing specific to my dyna. Does anyone on here with a dyna have the new LED headlamp from Harley. If so what's your opinion. Looks promising, I saw a lot of threads from bagger guys but they have a lot of other lights also, I am running a street bob right now with a quarter fairing.

But I run the headlight and it is a great improvement over stock.

You can't seem to have too much light on a motorcycle but DOT doesn't want you to have any more than a single car head light. Changing the bulb to a higher intensity "shorter life" bulb or higher wattage "illegal" will make some differance but the added light seems to be spilled where you don't really need it. I tried a 35W HID in a 5-3/4" lamp that put out a lot of light but wasn't focused. I'm now running the new model Harley LED that seems to be a bit better than every thing else I've tried. Aiming the projection Harley LED lamp is critical with its focused beams. The high beam does have more reach and doesn't bother your night vision on a dark road like a light shinning in the trees and every where else does.

Love mine!! Also does not attract as many bugs at night, something to do with LED does not have the UV properties of other lights..

LED on Switchback
I had the H-D LED installed on my Switchback and there was a big improvement in night vision. One thing to note....the bulb is not replaceable. If it dies, you have to replace the entire H-D unit...but then again, it supposed to last almost forever.

Trying this again...sorry if it duplicates.
I had the H-D LED installed on my Switchback. Night vision is better. One thing to note is that the LED bulb is not replaceable on the H-D unit. LED is supposed to last almost forever, we'll see. It is a lot of $$ to spend on a headlight that needs to be totally replaced because the bulb blows.
