Going to do this upgrade in the next couple of weeks. Did you go with the OEM HD or the Ebay knock-off? I see the knock-offs are down below $50, and seem to get good/mixed reviews just like the HD version. Really torn to spend the bucks on the OEM.

My stocker broke; I replaced it with HD LED. It looks fantastic, and is bright as hell!

I like the style/appearance of that one, but would like to know if it's as bright as the BAL-1 that I have on now, and if it has the rapid fire flash before steady on brake light.

What's the part number and price of that one?

Well that seals it. I'm going to try one. The one issue I have read about these, outside of the occasional LED going out, is they are not as bright as the OEM Tri-bar, but others say they are. Heck, I could go through 5 of em' and still be under the cost of the Harley unit.

I would rather spend 5 times on the better quality, brighter, more visible light, .....that has the potential of making things safer on the road for me, ....and more than likely last a life time.

looks good ! I have the cheap one too and haven't had any issues with it so far (about 3 weeks). What bars are those and how tall are they?

My motto is "buy once, cry once". I spent more on my Deuce than on a newer VTX for a reason (or rather for several).

YMMV.
