+1. I was skeptical about this light, but it was on sale on Amazon, and I thought what the hell. I have it for almost that long and it does a great job

if anything were to ever happen to it, I’d probably look at Custom Dynamics, as I have several of their other products and they have excellent customer service.....

I've tried the 7" Truck lite. I didn't like the fact it was hard for oncoming traffic to see from an angle
plus it was heavy and snapped the tabs off the aftermarket bucket
I tried the 5.75" JW Speaker with the tilt feature, I didn't like the color or the fact
the tilt feature didn't work on high beam. (they've updated this feature on the new models.
I keep finding myself going back to the HD Daymaker. Only because I have it on the shelf.
(with all the others I've tried if you're interested, make me an offer)
The Sunpie is a Daymaker knock off and I've hears very few negative reviews.

Let me add that I had been riding rain or shine all year round, so it's held up to some tough weather. It's sat outside for some time exposed to the elements as well. All is good.
I have to agree, I would fork up the extra cash and buy a Custom Dynamics if I need a new headlight.

I put an E-Mark LED headlight on my Heritage. Excellent light pattern, and lots of light down the road on hi beam. $59 on Amazon

I put a Wisamic LED headlight on my wife’s Sportster. It has the Halo Ring DRL. Outstanding visibility to oncoming traffic and great lighting on both hi and lo beam. $42 on Amazon.

Can’t say yet how they’ll do long term, but so far so good.

Are you considering the JW Speaker since the updated tilt on high, did the low beam version satisfy your expectations, while being in low beam? Enough to think that the high beam tilt would make it great ? Tnx, I just wondered because I was always wanting to try one, but the cost,if not what I expected, was a little bit high

Am I considering it? NOPE
I don't have AUX. lights so it did help in turns. Enough to justify the cost? NO
The first version "A" might still be available as New Old Stock and is cheaper
now that the "A2" is out but it's still expensive.
I ride High beam mostly and having the adaptive feature on high bean would be a plus.
