Had the HD Daymaker on my Softail, never really rode that much at night to test it. Wish that JW Speaker Evo2 Euro spec was available stateside, guessing the "position light" remains on like a parking light.

Hey bikerlaw...somewhat related, do you have anything to report yet? A couple of months ago when you did your Fuel Moto LED headlight report/comparo, you wrote and I quote:

"Besides, I have a super secret weapon coming down the pipe that will just blow away EVERYTHING on the market now. But that's for another future thread"

I've been patiently watching

Spent the bucks and tried one of the Trucklite 7s a couple of months ago. Yea it's brighter but the light pattern was uneven and not smooth. Had a bright V-shaped pattern right in the middle of the low beam. Sent It back.

I based my decision to install the Truck Lite LED's based on seeing them on a friends Limited the same year as mine. When we road together at night his LED's lit the road better/brighter enough so that I decided to part with the cash. As will all Harley add ons they may not be right for some riders.

I did the JW Speaker Evo to headlight and absolutely love it there's noblind spot in corners that I really noticed. I also added the custom dynamics LEDs upfront for the turn signals and that gives a little extra cage visibility.

Well worth the money!!!! Bright is not great for distance but throws a tremendous amount of light at night and is easy to to see in the daylight hours.. Dim with running spots is great at night..
