Custom Dynamics Truebeam for Road Glide.

Just saw this. Not sure it's worth the price of admission but I have the Truebeam in the RKS and I am really happy with it. 800 bucks is a lot of cheddar.

Don't get me wrong, I use many Custom Dynamics products. I have the bullet replacements of my '15 RG and they were $200. I would definitely consider the windshield trim lights. I just haven't seen that the stock light was deficient, just don't know that I would replace it unless it was proven to me that this was a huge upgrade.

Stonecold, to me that was the single biggest weakness of my '13 RoadGlide. I tried to assist those two virtually helpless, dim yellow parrafin candles with the running / signal lights from Custom Dynamics since I would not spring for Daymakers. It got to the point that I would run brights at night, and still had difficulty. And at that, the low beam of my Yamaha FZ-10 is at least twice as bright as those twin kerosene lanterns!! Now on my '18 FatBoy I can see!! (and also have the Custom Dynamics white / amber running / signal LEDs...

God bless you for posting this. I would rob a bank if I had to in order to get better than stock lights for the Road Glide. Now I hope Harley NEVER makes a brighter light as I am sick they dragged their *** on this. Yeah, now I have a Christmas gift on the list...

Anyone that does not appreciate this over stock does not ride at night.

My 17 already has LED lights and they do a really good job in my opinion. I know the previous generation ones were very weak but for the current bike the standard lights seem very good to me.

Even the Daymaker replacement for the ‘13 and earlier RG’s did a poor job in the corners.
