The H4 drop in LED's are ok, but nowhere near as good as the Daymaker, or JW Speaker lights. I have one in my FZ-09 and it is bright, but not as "sharp".

I want to get the front sprocket to but i need to research how to do it first. I have worked on sports bikes a long time but this is my first harley. I dont want to start anything that i havent fully researched first
From what LA dog and others have said, the front and rear sprocket combi change really wakes these babies up

Did the fat-boy sissy bar mod this weekend. IMO it looks much better than any other sissy bar option out there for the BO. The little lady is a happy camper on the back of it now, even with the stock pile-on.

Thanks for clearing that up. Nice bike you have there! Did you fit the headlight yourself? If so did you manage to get to the connector block under the tank without removal? Or whilst it was off bike?
