Default Daymakers??

I am wondering if anyone has purchased the "Daymaker" from baggerbags? and if they are as bright as they say. maybe you have experience with theseof know someone who has. Lets face it, for the price it is definitely affordable. I have read that in some cases you have to trim the stock rim or purchase their trims. I am about to pull the trigger for my 15 RK.

In addition to the Daymaker being much brighter, the LED will probably outlast your bike. Not only will you see better at night with a wider angle of dispersion, you will be SEEN better by oncoming traffic. The first thing I did was make everything LED and added LED running lights. I am very careful about where I ride, but there is never too much you can do to be seen. Good luck with your decision.

Hate work, I was referring to the after market Daymakers that Baggerbags is selling. I know that the OEM Daymakers are great, but I want someones experience with the aftermarkets that they sell that seems to be selling hard.

A buddy bought an after market 7" LED... He had ninor modifications to do as they are not necessarily OEM. Good luck.

Take a look at the JW Speaker 8700 Evo 2 for the headlight. You can find it for about $300.

Ditto on the evo 2's. $276 on amazon and newer and brighter than the daymaker. Plug and play, depending on year you may need the mount ring for another 50 bucks.

the ones on Baggerbags are all knockoff models of the JW Speaker lights (harley licensed their designs for the "daymaker" units, just like they did with the TruckLight Phase 7 for the daymaker Reflector. )

Check out the Fuel Moto LED set up

Put the low beam and passing lamps for $120 and change and has transformed the visibility

Was actually heading down the path the op is going and ended up where I did

There is a couple of detail threads in the Rushmore forum

Almost forgot - no work all plug and play in and out in 15 minutes

I've got the Fuel Moto H9 and H11 LEDs, which are direct stock replacements. They go for $129 for the set. Much brighter than stock; they're almost like looking into the sun even in the daytime. Can't beat the price.

Those Fuel Moto LED bulbs look really good as far as design and price. I put halogen beams on my passing lamps which are sealed beams. I wonder if the Fuel Moto LED passing lamps are sealed beams too; the 881's?
