I've heard good things about Sunpie, mostly that they are good and inexpensive. Have you had an issues with static or interference on your stereo?

Truck light. Best bang for the buck. If your keeping the bike and ride late in the day and night you will not be disappointed. Good lighting where I live is key to a safe arrival back home. Get the 3 bulb set and you will be shocked how well they work.

No static AT ALL. Now I had to adjust the headlight height after install, but it would of been easier if i would of put a mark on my wall where the Harley light shined.

ANY headlight needs adjusted, not just Sunpie.

OK Peanuthead, you sold me. I called and ordered the Phase 7 this morning. Maybe you can get a commission!

Thanks guys. Truck-Lite Phase 7 installed. Removed trim ring, 3 screws on bracket, switched out headlight, easy peasey.
I did have some trouble with putting the trim ring back on- the clip on the top of the ring doesn't want to stay. The screw on the bottom holds the trim ring on, but it's loose at the top. May have to play with it some more - wonder if the bulb being slightly deeper (sticks out a little further) than stock has anything to do with it. Anybody else have a problem with the factory trim ring?

Yep. Factory ring isn't deep enough for the 7. Frenched ring from HD works well though.

Looking good man! I didn't have a problem with mine and the trim ring. Not sure why you do. Just wait until you ride at night. Whole world of difference.
