fatboy 7" headlight upgrade?
a friend of mine said i should "upgrade my headlight" to the newer style....anyone know what that means exactly? sorry for sounding "old" here, but i didnt know they were better headlights out there, just thought a 7" harley headlight was a 7" harley headlight:icon_shrug:

On h4 bulb as opposed to a sealed beam.
|
There is the dual beam and the led headlamps. Had both but gave up on the dual beam within a week and stuck with the led

Might have been the LED..........kind of expensive. When the LED's go there's no bulbs to replace you have to buy the whole thing again.

I love the look and light the led puts off tho. It makes a huge difference being able to see and be seen I think.

I have the LED and like it but in my opinion it only works if you take the looks of the bike in a modern direction. I think it wouldnt look as good on a vintage or old school looking ride. Just my opinion... they function very well.

I've been thinking about swapping my headlamp out for the LED but can't get past the $525. Anyone know how long they are rated to operate? If I buy one, I want to make sure it is good for many years

would this be an upgrade over what i have now? that led light looks cool, but aint no way i'd pay $500 for a light |
I follow your thinking on the price of the LED, however i can share with anyone interested in listening that this is hands down the best 500 bucks i have spent on my bike. I can be seen, no exceptions. At night i can see forever, and during the day street signs light up like a lamp when my light hits them. My wife was even concerned when i told her what i wanted to spend on a headlamp and within hours she was thanking me constantly for doing so, she can't believe the difference.
A buddy i ride with thought i was nuts, lots of money out of my 103 fund, however we made a 60 mile ride one saturday morning as I followed him down the 2 lanes, and he was blown away by how my headlamp illuminated road signs from behind the group. He has one now and feels the cost is totally justified. I know it's lots of guido, but it helps me be seen day and night, i can see way better at night, and that makes me feel way safer riding. I for one am totally glad i spent the cash on this headlamp. |
