Thanks for the response Rich, Im definatly more than interested although I think I am going to wait till Jasper snaps a few pics. Ive been to their website and definatly like what Im seeing. Debating on weather or not to just bite the bullet and get the set of 3 lights for my softail, after I talk the wife into it of course. Lol

What housing would be required to mount that truck light on an fxstc? I know my buddy was also interested for his sportster.

It just plugs in to the regular socket, right? I see they have the spotlights available as well in a set for $410.
That's right, it plugs into your existing H4 connector. They sell these for multiple applications. But we already have the H4 connectors in our bikes, so it's 100% plug & play for us. We don't need that H13 adapter.

I hear ya, I want to get the spot lamps as well. But I'm currently spending too much doing a Sportster makeover ... that also needs this LED headlamp. I just mounted a 7" bucket, now it just needs Truck-Lite. But I'll get the spot lamps as soon as I can afford them.

I think you currently have a 5.75 bucket, right? A 7" Fat Boy Bucket works great. I got that chrome one that's mounted to my springer for under $60.00 new from BK Rider.

OK, Rich. I just ordered the complete front light set: headlight and 2 spots for $389.49 delivered with your discount code.

Know of any 5-3/4" LED replacements? I really don't want to swap out to a larger bucket on the Sporty.

I did the Trucklite LED upgrade a couple weeks ago.

$400 well spent,

I bought them from the local Napa,
I do alot of business with them, gave me a pretty decent price,
ordered them at 3:00pm, picked them up 9:00am the next morning.

Couldn't see well at all with the old lights,
now I light up reflectors on parked cars, off the road in driveways on both sides of the road, signs hanging high by the traffic signals, and any reflectors about 50 or 75 yds down the road, all at the same time.

I thought I would blind oncoming traffic, but never got high beams flashed at me yet.

Draw less amps too.

Been using the truck lite in streetrods and trucks for a little bit.(back up lights they flat suck) Make sure you go try/look at somebody else s bike first. Lots of truck/equipment guys don't like them at all and have removed. Rod guys dont like the looks and they are very directional...Maybe not so much on a bike when your turning the light. LED technology is changing in leaps and bounds... in 4 to 5 months stuff is better. You can not beat them in everyplace else but head lights? Not so good from what i see in driving with them 20,000 miles in a truck last year. Think i will wait a bit on them at those prices.
Just and opinion and you know what thats worth LOL

Harley has their 5 3/4" LED plug-n-play headlight that I used on my '97 WG. Bought mine from Lakeshore Harley (IL) for $320 shipped.

Huh. I'll look for it. Got a part number? I kinda blew my budget for stuff I don't need.
