14 FatLo. Dropped in the evo2 with ZERO issues. No fittment issues no code issues , nothin! . LOVE the wide beam. I ride the highway frequently at night and it's awesome. Got it from Amazon last year for 260$. Plus I got it in black and it looks great.

I loved the EVO2, but it's really a general purpose LED vehicle headlight. When I took a sharp turn the cut-off pattern left me riding into the dark. Speaker came out a few months ago with their new "made for motorcycles" adaptive LED, the 8790, and boy oh boy what a difference in the turns! (They have a video of it in action) It's #$&@! expensive, but it works. I know people here will **** & moan about the cost, but how much is a trip to the emergency room worth? List is $799, but it's available from DCP for$640, which is only $41 more than what HD wants for their 7" Daymaker with a crappier warranty!

I have been looking at the EVO2 replacement light for my 2008 HD Fatboy. Will this require the mounting ring and anti-flicker also?

Default Daymaker for 2014 street glide special

Can any one tell me how to get the light to come that includes the subtle rear-lit Bar & Shield logo that glows while the ignition is in the accessory switch position? I have have purchased the daymaker p/n 67700265 to include the wire harness p/n 69200897. They were installed but the subtle light will not come on while the switch is in the accessory position

So what do I need to put the 8700 evo 2 on a 15 fat Lo? Do I need the mounting bracket and a harness or just a light? Anybody.

Just the light. That's all I needed on my 2014 Fatboy Lo. Some of these guys say a mounting ring as well but mine didn't need one. It fit perfectly.

Upgrading the lights to LED is one of the best upgrades you could do in my opinion.

I have LED headlight and Passing lights on my Deluxe, they're awesome.
The difference between the OEM light and the LED's is unbelievable.

I have had a full Chrome set, and now have a full Black set which i think look better.

If any members in Australia are interested in LED lights, shoot me a PM and i'll help you out.

Anyone found a fix for the trouble code "b2136" that's cause by switching to an LED headlight? I recently picked up a LED headlight from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DP9EQQG...+led+headlight and my security light started turning on along with the dreaded b2136 trouble code and clearing it does not work as it eventually comes right back. The headlight came with a anti flicker capacitor that I installed to see if it would help but unfortunately it didn't do squat to the issues my bike is having.

I'm in the process of returning this product and will be looking into picking up a JW speaker 8700 evolution 2. Now I just need some help in figuring out how I can avoid the same trouble code issues when I pick this up.

I ride a 2013 softail slim and this model uses can bus, so would picking up a load equalizer be redundant or will that be the magical fix that I'm looking for?
