Default Custom dynamics adaptive headlight fail 2022 softail standard

They sell you the light . They sell you the housing. They sell you the mount. However the mount is a 3/8 screw size and the forks and bolt only fit a 5/16. Dealership couldn’t figure out anything to make it work. Went back to stock light. Bummer. Custom dynamics had a timely response. Great customer service team over there. But upon the discussion they acknowledged this problem and said they are “in discussions” about making the correct mount with appropriate bolt size. They said you could drill it out to make it fit. No thanks. Anyone got a good headlight recommendation?

I can’t visualize the complete issue without more pictures or information.

The circle is the hole for the stock 5/16 bolt that hold the stock headlight housing in place

the red line is where that stock 5/16 screw attempts to go into the aftermarket mounting block which only comes in 3/8.

then theres the electrical adapter that is nearly a foot of extra wire that would hang out if the mounting equipment worked.

not the plug and play job i hoped for as the wedbaite youtube install videos suggest.

I’ve had good outcomes with jwspeaker options. No need to change anything. I have their 5.75” on the 03 springer and the 7” on my wife’s 16 heritage.
