Default Anyone seen this headlight before?

Does anyone know who makes this headlight? Also, is it all form or does it actually work well?

Not a Rolland Sands headlight. Doesn't look effective or safe, looks good though.

I agree. It looks all form, no function.


Then again the lights have got to either be HID or LED. Three led lights can be brighter than the OEM bulb.


I'm trying to find out some info so I can look into the price and actual light output.

Just because it looks like the way it does doesnt mean it cant function. If those are 5 LEDs with Lenses chances are it functions better than stock.

Unless thats just a black cover put over the headlight.

Cant judge by size only. Look how small higher end headlights have become, on cars and motorcycles.

It's LED. There used to be a Duna on the Rocket Bob's site that had the same light.

Another Wild & Unique Concept Headlight from Joker Machine!
Featuring all CNC machined billet construction from solid bar,(not spun aluminum), this headlight combines futuristic, yet retro styling in one unit, with it's 5 MR-11 Halogen bulbs!
  • Available in single or dual light housing configurations.
  • Both have fully adjustable swivel mounting brackets on bases that have (2) tapped 3/8"-16 dual inward or outward position mounting holes. (standard triple tree bolt size found on most H/D's)
  • Has a (5) super bright 10 watt Halogen bulb arrangement with the capability of independently wiring each bulb separately, (if desired)
  • Wiring harness consists of a unique expandable "monofiliment" material outer cover for a "super sano" look!
  • Bulb access is fast & simple with the removal of one screw at the back of the light housing that holds the front bezel and lights in one unitized assembly...........no unsightly front bezel screws found on most headlights!
  • Headlight diameter is 4 1/2" and length is 4 3/4".
  • Available in your choice of Chrome or our super durable "HARD BLACK" anodized finish.
  • A must for the guy that demands a different approach to original and custom styling from the norm.
  • Installation Instructions


So, this headlight uses halogen bulbs which are individually configurable for high/low beam.


I need to see a few reviews on the light output, but seems pretty legit so far.


Cost for the black is $429.95

I agree. There's a Youtube video of them making one of these headlights on a lathe. It's pretty cool! If I pick this up (which I'm leaning towards) I'll post some before/after pics to show any differences in light output.
