You might be rite. I just came across this photo and review. Yikes, pretty scary actually.

"Safety first, right? Safety above cost even, right? I purchased this particular light. I'm sure its going to be the same product across the board at this price point. I've just installed the more expensive Harley-Davidson part. Now, having bought both, thus probably paying more than any of you, I'll let you decide for yourself. The photos are taken in the same location at roughly the same time of day. Spend the money people. We need to be seen out there. And yes, technically, this is a quality product, it fit with minimal modifications (drilled hole for wiring harness to reach). In full disclosure, the same modification had to be made to the H-D part.

Good example.

The BAL-1 is brighter than that HD light, and even though I much prefer the HD tri-bar style, I'll stick with the BAL-1 for now.

I had a similar one on my Night Train. They are so much brighter. Great addition.

I think they're Kuryakyn but not entirely sure. See pic for height. I had them fitted as I wanted to re-create the look of a Nightrain, the bike I wanted but couldn't get. I thought the high ones would look cool, which they do IMHO, plus they're really nice to ride with.

Doesn't seem to be much less than the OEM version.

What's the part number and price of that one?
Do you have a pic of the BAL - 1?

I don't have photos of my own installation to demonstrate how bright they are, but a forum search will reveal many review threads.

I like the style of the Tri-Bar, and wished it was a bright as the BAL-1
