Default Hate the day maker headlight

I do not like the daymaker at all. Any recommendations on what light to swap it with? I was going to try a custom dynamics adaptive headlight. Anyone try one of these and are they any count??

Congratulations on your first post to HDF, to the Forum.

Cannot help you with your choice, there are many options, search the forum as there have been many discussions on headlights.

Year, model and a picture of your motorcycle would be useful.

I have had both and could not find fault with either. Lame first post.

A troll?

It would help if you could be specific about what you hate about the Daymaker. Assuming you are referring to the HD daymaker and not so w knock off.

Love that Snake Venom!
I ran a Custom Dynamics headlight on my 2020 Street Glide. I don’t ride much at night but thought about their adaptive headlight first. The reviews looked like their adaptive headlight is better than the HD offering.

I don’t like that when I cut into a curve the light cuts down to a strip 15 foot ahead of me.
