In because I am also curious. I've been looking at the Wisamic on Amazon. tons of positive review, and a 2 year warranty... very tempting considering it is 1/10th the price of a Daymaker.

I have one of these on my 13 custom. No problems for the last year I have had it. I did use some double sided tape on the inside during install to keep it from rotating. I am very happy with it.

This is plug and play in your existing bucket, so if it does fail (mine is over3 years now) you can still stop anywhere and get an H4 and be going again.

I'll be keeping an eye on this thread for sure!
The stock Harley light is just appallingly bad on my Sporty. Been trying to decide what upgrade path to take.

Whatever you decide take some pics, especially night time so we can see what the beam pattern looks like.

I used the same one, bought on amazon for about $40 or so. Had one on my last Sporty, worked great.
