  1. Are those Dakota Digital Gauges? Been wanting those for about 15 year now lol
  2. What mount did you use for your Garmin?

Yes Dakota Digital gauges

I use the T&T Fab GPS mount, they have a store on ebay.

I don't like it.
My experience was, though the adaptive did fill the sides in a turn, not wide enough.
I put the Daymaker back on due to a different (strange malfunction) reason not relevant here.

I watched a couple Harley youtube videos before buying, the lights they showed in the videos looked more like a cool white.

I haven't seen too many posts about this light and figured I'd try it out for anyone else wondering about them.

I always thought it was the color of the CD lights that didn’t match the color of the H-D lights. My CD front turn signals on my ‘14 Limited don’t match my OEM headlight or my OEM fog lights.

Bike looks really good. Custom dynamics makes an adaptive headlight too, was checking it out in sturgis. What bars are those?

Love that front end! You’ve got the total package and everything compliments each other - great look.

Keep us posted o the nighttime driving visibility.

Bars are 10" Yaffe monkey bagger bars. I believe the custom dynamics light is made by JW for them.
