I agree, those passing lamps need to be addressed now that you're running this headlight.

Open up that Wallet ! Lol

Ya know - As I am a dyed in the wool idiot when it comes to goofy **** for the bike, I'll most likely do something later. But guys.....I be broke! Put the New pipes on this winter.....New Mustache Bar and now the headlight....all done for a bit. Now if you all would like to start a "Help poor Old jc" fund I'd continue to speak highly about the great guys and gals on this forum.

Looks awesome in black nacelle.

Any issues with your install on this or did it bolt right up too?

I had the HD LED and Nacelle installed at the dealership free of charge. Once I got the bike home in December I read about the "new & improved" JW Evo 2 and slapped it in there myself. Super easy, one screw to get the Visor Style trim ring off, one screw to remove the outer headlight ring and the headlamp just pops out/in there no problem. Read up a few posts and there's a guy who said he didn't need the adapter ring.

First wanted to thank you for this thread and info in it. I was almost ready to pull the trigger on the HD Daymaker but thankfully did a quick search and found this thread. Again, to the OP, Thank You for the heads up!!!

Anyway, i have a 2012 FBLo with the exact Nacelle set up. But, when i had the Nacelle installed, i used the stock non led headlight. I had the JW Evo2 LED light delivered and plugged it in, fired right up with no issues going from low to high beam. Only issue i ran into was the backing of this headlight is slightly different than the factory 2012 HD FBLo headlight. It does not fit the stock headlight ring. You will need to pick up the motorcycle headlight ring.
I just ordered the ring from the website that was mentioned here few pages back (http://www.discountfleetsupply.com/jws3156351.html) for $52.
Now just have to wait a few days.

I have a 2010 FatBoy and bought the LED JW EVO 2 and plugged right in without having to buy anything else. The EVO 2 is a great light and lights up the road at night.

I'm looking at buying the 7" LED JW Speaker 8700 Evolution 2 for a 2015 Fat Boy Lo, Is it a direct fit and will I need to buy the adapter ring for this install?
