Default Daymaker options?

Is there another reputable company that makes a daymaker style headlight for the 2016 Slim S?


Is it necessary to take our bikes in to keep our warranty? Coming from a 08 Zx10-r and I did all my own maintenance..


Thanks in advance

I do all my own maintenance. There is no requirement to have the dealer do it. When in doubt, keep records of mileage and consumables used.

JW Speaker builds the Daymaker lights for HD. Search for the Evolution2 headlight for your bike. You will need the mounting ring as well.

THanks.. It doesn't seem like I can order from them.. I want the light but $499 seems a bit steep for a headlight..




Someone posted this on another thread, but I'm not sure of the quality.

Would this bulb fit ?

Good light. Have seen them as low as $249. This one is 279.

Search by part numbers. Amazon and eBay are great sources. I bought my headlight for under 3 bills.

Keep the bike 100% stock until you decide you want to keep it.

Going from a sport bike to a Harley is a drastic change and you may not like the end results.

The most recent Daymaker costs a bit more, but worth it...plug and play. Do yourself a favor and just get the HD item, you will thank me for the simplicity and seamlessness of the upgrade.
