Best headlight upgrade for 2000 RG
So my riding bud, (who makes more money than God, but not Bezos, Musk, Gates or Putin), wants to upgrade the dual headlights on his 2000 Road Glide SE.
In my internet wanderings, I found these: https://www.jwspeaker.com/products/adaptive-led-headlights-model-8692-adaptive-2/
Riders on this forum always praise jw speakers' lights. Any other recommendations?
I'm also trying to talk him into adding the Kissan headlight modulators.
I'm also telling him he should upgrade to a newer platform bike. But he said that's a couple years out.

Heres a link for Custom Dynamics to fit the older RoadGlides. I installed the Trubeam on my 2017 RGS and totally changed my nighttime riding since I work second shift. Custom Dynamics has a lifetime warranty and definitely worth a look.. One big improvement was the extra side lighting that really lit up the edges of the road about 30 feet on each side. I had an 06 electra glide standard with passing lamps and with the upgraded trubeam light it really improved the wider beam pattern. I recently sold the RGS and got a Roadking Special and first upgrade was another trubeam led headlight. The distance and dispersal pattern of these lights are great.

Although, those CD's are $100+ over the JW's and the adaptive style is $800!
Thanks again!

The headlight I got was the same cost as the factory headlight for my rgs. I decided to do the non adaptive style for the RKS since the standard led headlight works great. I used a JW speaker led headlight years ago on an 06 electraglide standard and I have quite a few coworkers that use them today. The less are a bit more pricey but once you install them it's amazing the added distance and width of the beam that sold me on them. I primarily ride mostly at night so the added cost is well worth it for the safety aspect.

Clearwater Lights,mounted to crash bar. Kristina /Erica pair. One is a wide driving light,the other is a spot beam. If he likes he can also add a pair of their Darla lights on his calipers to see around those curves.
