Dunno how good that company is tho but it sure looks like the Daymaker.
A good price and it does look like Harley's. FWIW, here is a Kelvin degree chart, as I imagine most don't know what those K numbers represent. Had to deal with it in my last job.

That one you linked on amazon is slightly different than the HD day maker. If you look at the bottom, between the two round LED projectors, this one does not have the small LED in the lower center. On the HD version it's there. That said, I picked the same one you linked to from Ebay, and I love it. I paid $77, and the quality is top notch. There is some light overlap, and a couple very small dead spots, but from what I have seen from other projector LED lights, that's typical. Overall, "light" years ahead of stock, and I feel like I am getting a huge return on investment.

HD's version:

Installed aliexpress "chinessedaymaker" and.. wow, the stock light can go to the trash bin.

God bless white lighting, love the way it lights the sides of the road, yesterday when coming back home at night it saved me from hitting a deer who was hiding scared in the side of the road and decided to cross it at the worst moment, i saw him with enough distance to be aware of it.

Destiny I guess lol.

Very pleased, honestly the best 48€/~50$ I ever spent on this bike, the oem daymaker is around 500$ in Spain so you can guess that I saved quite some money lol

Good to hear! Thanks for the followup. I love your paint, btw. I'm a sucker for a nice blue and I've never seen a denim metallic before. Nice.

I visited mine in the shop today. It looks so sad gathering dust in the corner. Can't wait to get it back home.

Bates foot pegs, one inch higher, one inch farther back. This mini project has been done for a while, but I did grease the clevis and final tighten the bolts today.

Start with a Chinese foot peg kit for a Buell from Ebay. Glue the PVC pipe to the pegs that were turned down to fit the I.D. of the pipe.
Attachment 522966

Turn the O.D of the modified peg down to a nice snug fit inside the Bates rubbers and glue the works together with weather strip adhesive.
Attachment 522967

Throw the Chinese bolts and dowel pins away and replace with good American hardware and torque it all together with red Loctite.

Before...

After... More cornering clearance and better foot and brake pedal position for me [after I sawed big hunks of the brake pedal off].

I sat on the side of the road trying to figure out why my bike randomly died on me. Turned out the wire from my tuner to the negative terminal snapped. The wire is such a small gauge I'm not surprised. I am surprised at how short and thing the wire is though. Had to do a bootleg fix to get myself home. A more permanent fix will have to wait until next week....
