HD specifically makes the motorcycle to fit standard 7" round headlights....I was worried about this very issue...the JW light went right on just like stock...no worries

So - Now that I'm ready to do this upgrade - Do we know if we need the Adapter ring for the Heritage {2013}? Only $52 ~ But it would be stupid to waste the money - Thanks

Some fella earlier on said you didn't need the Adapter Ring Kit. I would suggest just buying the 8700 Evolution 2 and see if it works as a complete drop in. Then YOU can let us know if the Adapter Ring Kit is required along with the harness from HD going from the OEM plug to the 8700 Evolution 2 pigtail.

Devin_r said he did not need the adapter ring for his '14 Fatboy Lo. Isn't his headlight the same as ours? (mine is a '14 Heritage)

The plug adapter is for those that have the stock dual halogen setup from the factory. It changes that connector to the H4 that we

Does anyone have a Harley p/n for the harness needed? I am interested installing this on my 2012 Fatboy Lo. Also just checking those buying on EBay is this the light?
