Default JW Speaker Install Fatboy S

Hi all,

I'm about to pull the trigger on a 2017 Fatboy S. Just waiting for the credit union to call me back with my rate and I'll be signing this week!

Anyway, I've searched but the info is jumbled. I want to put a JW Speaker headlight on it. Do I need a wire harness or can I just get the evolution J model? Also do I need some kind of ring kit, or will it fit right out of the box?



Thanks!

Hi, it is a direct plug and play replacement of your stock halogen headlamp.

The model you want is the 8700 Evolution 2. I believe the "J" is only for Jeeps but could be wrong on that.

As long as your bike is CANBUS you shouldn't need an anti flicker harness. I think it was mentioned earlier, about the Evo 2-j series...those include the anti flicker circuit as part of the light unit...that is really the only difference, minus the DRL half crescent​. Personally, I don't think the J series looks right on a bike, but that's my opinion.
