Unhappy M8 Road Glide lighting

Specifically headlights but seat shopping as well. Just not finding much of anything as far as options. Even Daymaker is iffy, seems to MAYBE fit in chrome but not black. Crikey, have had the bike almost a week and have found nothing for it other than CD signal lights which the dealer had. May deal with the seat for a while as I have the backrest and mounting bracket (HD) from my old Road Glide. Just need to try to modify the bracket. Any help appreciated!!!

If I can decipher any of that jibberish I think you're asking about a better headlight option? If so then there are tons of options in chrome and black

Default Headlights and Seats

All the M8 bikes come with led headlights...If you get a RGS or an SGS they will come with the standard seat for those bikes. They are, to me, a basic seat and don't lend themselves to long rides. If you get an Ultra, it will come with a hammock seat that is quite comfortable. If you are hooked on leather, you can also get that on the hammock seat.

The Ultra, It's not an actual "hammock" seat but pretty cushy.
Some people complain about the groin section being a little tight but if you wear the seat in, it's actually pretty comfortable.

I like my headlights (stock ones) but the stock seat sucks! I went with a Mustang seat and it's an all day seat for me, great quality and I got mine on EBay new!
