Following this thread. I just installed a dual halogen headlight in my 05 and was going to order the FM LED's this week. I think I will hold off for now

Since everyone is mentioning their headlight setup, I'd like to add to my earlier comment about the fog lights.

I had rocks take out several headlights one after the other and got tired of spending big money replacing lenses. I put on a standard 7" Sylvania Silverstar dual beam halogen from the auto parts store. It was less than twenty bucks and fit perfectly. Great light and has lasted for years.

Wow, you mean like this one?

That sir, is freakin' brilliant. In a million years I would never have thought of a traditional automotive high output halogen on my bike. I bet it's bright as hell too.
I would love to hear the lumens on that sucker.

On my 14 sg I used the Sirus Cree headlight from amazon for 75 bucks shipped. Its a LED head light bulbs. Works great. ove 10K on these so far with no issues. Theres a few threads about them over in the rushmore section. Check it out.

Yeah, once you loose the "screw the Harley rider, they will over pay for anything mentality", the options become almost unlimited. The Jeep guys know what's what. And their lights bolt right in our 7 inch buckets!
