Default Need more light, evo2?

Was out last night on my 14 sgs with daymaker reflector headlight and auxillary lights. Thinking I need more light, does the 8700 evo2 headlight have more output than the daymaker? Anybody know if there is an evo2 auxillary light option, can't seem to find any. May just keep the reflector auxillary lamps and order the evo2 headlight, won't match looks but oh well

If you need more than a daymaker some thing is not right. Maybe something off a freight train or river boat.

The daymaker auxillary lights are great, it's just the headlight that sometimes seems lacking to me as far as light output. The evolution 2 I imagine would be quite a bit brighter

You might want to investigate Motolights. Yes, they are expensive but they seem to work well.

With as many deer as we have around here, a riverboat spotlight would be just about right!

Maybe add a set of these-



Stealth LED Driving-Passing Lights that can be mounted off the engine guard or off the floorboard brackets on all Touring models.

You can see them mounted off the engine guard on Kevin's(the K in "DK") Tri Glide.



Here's a pic of only these lights running-



Here is a LINK to these. Hope this helps!

I’m interested in the new “adaptive” headlights that help you see around corners on my Ultra

I'm very interested in the adaptive lights, that looks like the answer to cornering with a motorcycle at night.
I was coming back to the campground just after dark the other night, the only way there was through a curvy stretch. It felt like I was driving drunk, every time I'd lean into a curve, the view of the road just disappeared!
Hope the price comes down soon, $500 on up is just too much for me...​​​​​
