20% on Ł86 is only going to be Ł17 if you get caught at all.
SO still around a ton for something HD want you to pay Ł400 for

I was just surprised at the price they can be got for! But yes Mr B, I agree, with Chinese stuff it can be absolute crap or surprisingly good. At this stage I've no intention of buying one, but I do have a LED bulb on its way to have a play around with that though.

Speaking for myself, I certainly would have if I still needed one. But I already went through the trouble of changing the buckets on 2 bikes to accept the 7" truck-lite. And even went through more hassle fitting a 7" Truck-Lite into a quarter fairing headlight opening that was intended for a 5.75" light.

No regrets though, worth every bit of hassle & expense to have superior lighting, IMO.

Picture is worth a thousand words-

Comparison pics between the best values we've found for lighting up the road, compared to the stock Sporty light-

That's funny. I can't count how many times I have plugged DK Customs. They are absolutely the best I have experienced in customer service and have quality products which they test out themselves before selling.

If he starts giving discounts for plugs, I should be getting free stuff...LOL, and you know that won't happen. Nah, just playing around and having some fun.
