Or you could just say $4xx.00 is a drop in the bucket for safety's sake.

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 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
